William Bock, a former general counsel for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, quit his post at the NCAA on Friday, blaming the organization’s stubborn refusal to protect girls’ sports. Bock’s departure, after eight years, is already sending shock waves through the sports ranks.

With more than a year left in his current term, Bock says he could no longer stomach the radical policy. “Although I may not have agreed with the wisdom of every rule in the NCAA rulebook,” he wrote in his letter, “I believed the intent behind the NCAA’s rules was competitive fairness and protection of equal opportunities for student-athletes. This conviction has changed as I have watched the NCAA double down on regressive policies, which discriminate against female student-athletes.”
