Transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas Loses Legal Case, Barred from 2024 Paris Olympics
Jun 12, 2024, 08:33 PM
Lia Thomas, the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA college title, has lost a legal case against World Aquatics at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. This ruling bars the US swimmer from competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics and other elite women's races. Thomas had challenged the rules that prevent transgender athletes who have undergone male puberty from competing in female events, arguing that the regulations were invalid and unlawful. World Aquatics described the decision as a major step forward in protecting women's sports.
