Allums, the first transgender basketball player in NCAA Division I history, will likely undergo the first steps in a gender reassignment surgery this summer.
"I have decided to no longer compete for the women's basketball team at George Washington University," Allums said. "I alone came to this conclusion, and I thank the athletic department for respecting my wishes."
