Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania, has been disqualified from the 2024 Olympics. Riley Gaines, a famous swimmer from the University of Kentucky, has qualified to compete.

Lia Thomas’ disqualification was announced by the International Swimming Federation (FINA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). According to their statement, Thomas was disqualified based on the governing bodies’ updated policies on transgender athletes, which emphasize the need for maintaining fairness in women’s sports competitions.

The policies state that transgender women must maintain testosterone levels below a certain threshold for at least 12 months prior to competition. Despite Thomas meeting these requirements, FINA and the IOC cited concerns about the physical advantages she might have retained from undergoing male puberty. “The decision was made after careful consideration of the scientific evidence and the need to ensure fair competition,” the statement read.
