A total of five men purporting to be women played in a collegiate-level women’s volleyball game, and two of the male athletes have been accused of concussing two female athletes in recent games.
A women’s volleyball match between Centennial College and Seneca College in Toronto, Canada, featured two male athletes on the the Centennial Colts, while the Seneca Sting used three male players.
According to reporter David Menzies, it was revealed by an inside source that there are a total of six males playing in the women’s league, five of whom are “not on any gender-affirming hormone therapy or have not had surgical gonad removal.”
However, the league, which is governed by the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association, has a listed policy that states a “trans female (MTF) student-athlete being treated with testosterone suppression medication for Gender Identity Disorder or gender dysphoria” cannot compete on a women’s team until after “completing one calendar year of testosterone suppression treatment.”
Two of the males who played in the match in question were also accused by the unnamed source of causing injury to female athletes.
C.L. Viloria, who plays for Centennial College, allegedly “attacked the ball with heavy force” and hit a female player from La Cite College in the head on November 12, 2023, causing a concussion.
On January 22, 2024, it is also alleged that Seneca College’s Franz Largadas concussed another female player from La Cite College when he “attacked the ball with heavy force.”
Viloria and Largadas were joined by Ara Telan, Jess Garcia, and Jaque Ronquillo to make a total of five men playing in the Centennial vs. Seneca match.
Menzies reported that the game was “hard to watch” at times and added that “the men were definitely the dominant players on the court,” especially in spiking the ball.
The reporter also asked Centennial’s women’s volleyball coach, Andrew Mallory, why he was “playing male players,” to which the coach responded, “I’m not.”
The coach was then asked, “What happened to chivalry?”
“It’s not dead,” he replied.
A sports marketing officer with the college declined to comment.
The mission statement for Centennial College’s athletic department reportedly said, in part, that its “values” include “equity” and “diversity.”
The college’s main website features a lengthy diversity statement, which lists “diversity, equity and inclusion” as its first “guiding principle.”
The school also notes that it will ensure that equity and inclusion are central to its work, while openly stating that it rewards DEI initiatives.
“We will recognize and reward initiatives that support diversity, equity and inclusion,” the website stated. “We will provide resources to support the work of our employees, our students and our partners in promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.”
