A dispute involving former San Jose State University volleyball players Brooke Slusser and Blaire Fleming has continued to draw attention in the United States, as legal claims, public statements and wider debate over transgender participation in women's sport intersect. While allegations have circulated widely online, only a limited number of facts have been formally established through institutional processes.
Slusser, a former team captain, has spoken publicly about the emotional and physical strain she says she experienced during the 2023–24 season. Fleming, a transgender athlete who played for San Jose State, has rejected those claims. Investigations linked to the case did not result in disciplinary action against Fleming, and no court ruling has yet determined liability.
