USA Gymnastics is under the national microscope after its biggest star, Simone Biles, ignited mass backlash for attacking Riley Gaines over the issue of trans athletes in women's sports. Biles has since apologized for her remarks against Gaines, but the impact of public perception to her and the organization is only just setting in.Former Team USA and NCAA champion women's gymnast Dee Worley, spoke out against USA Gymnastics after it was revealed that the organization's webpages outlining its transgender athlete policy and resources were offline, Fox News Digital previously reported.Worley, a former USA Gymnastics athlete and board member, revealed in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital her thoughts on the state of leadership for the nation's governing gymnastics body, as the U.S. is set to host the next Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I think theres been a steady decline in its ability to have backbone and its leaders' ability to have backbone for some time now," Worley said of the organization and its recent quiet distancing from trans inclusion policies. "When you dont have principles that you are willing to be dyed in the wool about and be ten toes down about, then you are going to blow with every wind."Worley, who competed for the U.S. national team as early as high school in the late 1980s, made history at the University of Alabama as a 17-time All-American, a four-time champion and a nine-time regional champion. As a senior in 1993, she set an NCAA record with perfect 10's in five consecutive meets. She later says she served as a USA gymnastics board member.And she went so far as to say the organization is exhibiting "cowardice," with its past stance and currently unclear stance on the issue now."I dont like their cowardice in any instance. Whether it means they have the trans information up in the first place or they took it down when it got hot in the kitchen. I dont admire cowardice and I think you know find your position stand on it, but be ready for the fight if you are standing on an issue that is going to be at the detriment of women in your sport who have made your sport what it is," Worley said.Previous links to three of the organization's pages outlining its transgender eligibility policies are currently offline. When the pages were officially taken offline is currently unknown.One link previously led to a November 2020 announcement that the organization no longer required trans athletes to undergo sex reassignment, legal gender recognition, and hormone therapy in order to compete in the gender category of their choosing, as seen in an archive by the Wayback Machine. That page still shows up in search results, but the link now goes to a 404 error page.Another link previously went to a three-page PDF pamphlet of USA Gymnastics guidelines for transgender and non-binary athletes, as seen in a Wayback Machine archive. That link is now inaccessible, but is still a top result on search engines.Another link previously went to a nine-page PDF USA Gymnastics pamphlet titled "Transgender Athlete Inclusion Resources: Supporting Transgender and Non-Binary Athletes," as seen in a Wayback Machine archive. That link is also no longer accessible.Worley predicts that the organization will announce an official amendment to its policy, but not one that goes far enough as she'd like."I predict they will amend the language leaving lots of loopholes and flexibility for them to be just nebulous enough for them to change their minds if and when the time comes," Worley said."I think they are very pressure driven an externally focus driven instead of being principle driven. So you cannot depend on any organization that does not stand on anything or have actual values that they refused to bend on."Fox News Digital has reached out to USA Gymnastics for comment.SIMONE BILES DOESN'T REALIZE WHAT SHE'S ADMITTING ABOUT TRANS WOMEN IN HER POSTS, RILEY GAINES SAYSFor Worley, the organization's recent stance in letting biological males compete in the women's category represents a leftward political shift by the organization in recent years. She believes it began in after the 2008 Beijing Olympics."When I was a part of USA Gymnastics it was really rigid USA Gymnastics was really about being team USA. It was about representing the United States well," Worley said of when she competed in the 90s and early 2000s."So thats my recollection of it and it has gone way left now. In my opinion, USA Gymnastics has been absolutely plaqued by incredibly faulty leadership for many, many years and has also bent its knee to the woke mob. Which is unfortunate because it has nothing to do with gymnastics."Worley recalls a shift by the organization de-prioritizing the protection of athletes after the public treatment of Gabby Douglas at the 2008 summer games."I did notice that and that was kind of the tipping point for me, I noticed some type of fall off in terms of the protection of the athletes," Worley said.Other major Team USA sport governing bodies have quietly amended their transgender policies amid rising opposition to trans inclusion in women's and girls' sports.USA Track and Field (USATF) official transgender eligibility policy now references the World Athletics guidelines on its official webpage.USATF previously referenced the International Olympic Committee (IOC)'s policy, as seen in an archive via Wayback Machine.The IOC allows biological males to compete in the women's category, while World Athletics bans any athlete who has undergone male puberty from competing as a woman.USA Fencing announced in April that it is preparing to change its gender-eligibility policy, after a viral protest by women's fencer Stephanie Turner sparked mass backlash and federal intervention by protesting a trans opponent.The organization said it is preparing to amend its current policies that allow biological males to compete with women and girls in the event that it is "forced" to change it."In the event that USA Fencing is forced to change its current stance in accordance with oversight bodies or federal legislation, the new policy states athletes competing in USA Fencing-sanctioned tournaments must compete according to their biological sex," the announcement read.The proposed updated policy ensures that the women's category "will be open exclusively to athletes of the female sex." The men's category "will be open to all other athletes who are otherwise eligible for competition."Worley hopes that the next generation of gymnasts can help contribute to substantial change in their governing body."If any female gymnasts are in a position where there is a male competitor who is claiming to be a female and wanting to compete against females, I would say to them push back,"Worley said. "One dont compete if you opt out there is no one for them to compete against. Two really put pressure on the governing body who is supposed to have your back. Supposed to be supporting you of your progression in the sport. Dont let them get away with checking the woke mob box and doing whatever they think they should be doing for optics for a very small percentage of the population at the sacrifice and compromise of your career."Fox News Digital's Connor McGahan contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said he has crafted a plan in the event the Trump administration arrests him after he and President Donald Trump went head-to-head over the handling of the immigration protests in Los Angeles.Newsom said he and his team have "processed" what it would mean for him if the Trump administration secured a federal warrant for his arrest, Newsom said in an interview with the "Pod Save America" podcast hosted by former Obama administration officials that aired Monday night."Whats so absurd about that question is Ive actually thought about it," Newsom said when asked about preparations in the event authorities take him into custody."The fact that we are even having that conversation with our folks, and have had that conversation with our folks in the United States in 2025, I mean, it says everything you need to know about whos in the White House right now," Newsom said.TRUMP GIVES BLUNT RESPONSE TO NEWSOM DARING HOMAN TO ARREST HIM: I WOULDNewsom also addressed the arrest threats in an interview with The Washington Post published Tuesday, signaling that the relationship between the two had reached a point beyond repair."He just threatened my arrest. One would assume, or presume, thats the point of no return," Newsom told The Washington Post. "Im constitutionally capable of working with people, even those that call for my arrest. So, I remain resolved in that respect, as I remain resolved to have the backs of kids whose lives are being threatened by his authoritarian tendencies."Trumps border czar, Tom Homan, first suggested in an interview with NBC News Saturday that Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass could face arrest if they hamper any federal efforts to deport illegal immigrants.In response, Newsom appeared to taunt Homan to take him into custody."Hes a tough guy. Why doesnt he do that? He knows where to find me," Newsom told MSNBC News Sunday. "That kind of bloviating is exhausting. So, Tom, arrest me. Let's go."When asked about threats to arrest Newsom, Trump told reporters Monday that Newsoms primary crime "is running for governor because he's done such a bad job," adding he would arrest Newsom if he were Homan.Newsom voiced disappointment in response to Trumps remarks and cautioned the threats amounted to a step toward authoritarianism.NATIONAL GUARD TO BE DEPLOYED IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY AS ANTI-ICE PROTESTS RAGE: BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN"The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor," Newsom said Monday in a post on X. "This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I dont care if youre a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism."Meanwhile, Homan appeared to soften his original statement, saying an arrest would only happen if a crime were committed by Newsom and Bass."Well, that whole things been taken out of context," Homan said. "They havent crossed a line yet, but like any other U.S. citizen, if you cross that line, I dont care who they are. The governor, the mayor, whatever when you commit a crime against ICE officers, we will seek prosecution."Newsom, who was first elected governor in 2018 and was re-elected in 2022, has drawn the ire of Trump for how hes handled multiple issues in his state, including the wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles in January.FEDERAL OFFICIALS SLAM DEMOCRATS FOR 'DANGEROUS' RHETORIC AS ICE AGENTS FACE VIOLENT MOBS IN LA, NYCThe two have sparred over Trumps decision to deploy thousands of National Guard troops and 700 Marines to California after protests launched Friday in response to recent arrests in the city by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.While Trump has argued the National Guard troops are necessary to prevent destruction in Los Angeles, Newsom has said the deployment violated Californias state sovereignty. State governors usually oversee National Guard troops, but Trump invoked a law to place the troops under federal command so he could circumvent Newsom.On Monday, Newsom said most of the troops "are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders.""This isnt about public safety," Newsom said in a Monday post on X. "Its about stroking a dangerous Presidents ego."The Associated Press contributed to this report.

MORRISTOWN, N.J. Rep. Mikie Sherrill won New Jersey's Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday night.The Associated Press projects that Sherrill has won the Democratic primary, teeing up a competitive race against three-time gubernatorial candidate and former GOP state lawmaker, Jack Ciattarelli, to replace Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy, who is term-limited this year.Sherill swept a crowded field of Democratic candidates, including Newark mayor Ras Baraka, Jersey City mayor Steve Fulop, New Jersey Education Association president Sean Spiller, former New Jersey Senate president Steve Sweeney and fellow U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer.Democrat and Republican candidates often evoked President Donald Trump's name on the New Jersey campaign trail, as Democrats positioned themselves as the most anti-Trump and Republicans vied to be the most pro-Trump candidate. It was Ciattarelli who landed the Trump endorsement as Democrats worked to contrast the president's vision with their own.TRUMP NOT ON BALLOT, BUT PRESIDENT FRONT AND CENTER IN NEW JERSEY'S PRIMARY FOR GOVERNORNew Jersey is one of just two governor's races in 2025, along with Virginia.

Like Murphy, Democratic candidates have rejected Trump's executive orders, his crackdown on illegal immigration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts.Acting as the last line of defense to a sweeping Republican agenda, Democratic governors have often rejected Trump's executive actions during his second term. By suing the Trump administration to unlock federal funds or refusing to comply with ICE deportations, Democratic governors including many rumored to harbor 2028 presidential ambitions are often leading the party's resistance to Trump.Trump once again took center stage on Tuesday as Sherrill and Gottheimer were peppered with questions by the press about the protests and riots unfolding in Los Angeles.When asked how she would handle the ongoing situation in Los Angeles differently from Gov.

"That's completely unacceptable."Gottheimer said it was "outrageous" for Trump to send the National Guard to California without Newsom's request."The fact that the president, for the first time since 1965, sent troops in from the National Guard without a request from the governor is outrageous.
