Summary
A “valid medical purpose” under Education Code section 33.091 does not contemplate the provision of steroids to a minor for transitioning the minor’s biological sex. Suspected use of steroids for this purpose is a basis to question the student-athlete’s eligibility to participate in University Interscholastic League (UIL) activities and obligates UIL to investigate as well as require the student-athlete prove by a preponderance of the evidence that they are eligible. A student-athlete may not take part in UIL competitions until their eligibility is proven by a preponderance of the evidence.
