The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) now screens all Division I and II athletes for sickle cell trait. What is the premise for this testing? Does the NCAA testing policy discriminate against athletes with the sickle cell trait? Does it discriminate based on race or ethnicity? Might this set a precedent for other authorities testing for other traits?
