BREAKING BOMBSHELL: Lia Thomas LOSES Explosive Legal Fight—Olympic Dream CRUSHED in Stunning Courtroom Decision! Is This the BIGGEST Victory Ever for Women’s Sports, or Will the Controversial Ruling Ignite an EVEN BIGGER FIRESTORM? Insiders Reveal the Hidden Drama That Could Change Sports FOREVER!

Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas won’t take away any opportunities from a female athlete during the  2024 Olympics in Paris.

Thomas, the biological male who won a women’s national championship in 2022 while swimming for Penn, officially lost a legal battle against World Aquatics in which Thomas argued that his ban on competing against women was “invalid and illegal.”

The 25-year-old was banned from swimming in the women’s category in the summer of 2022 when the sport’s governing body banned anyone who had gone through “any part of male puberty” from competing against biological females.

World Aquatics welcomed the court’s decision to uphold the rule keeping Thomas out of the pool with women, calling it “a major step forward in our efforts to protect women’s sports.”

“World Aquatics is dedicated to fostering an environment that promotes fairness, respect and equal opportunity for athletes of all genders and we reaffirm this commitment,” the organization said, according to The Guardian.

It should be noted that World Aquatics has not banned the participation of transgender athletes. The organization has introduced an “open” category for transgender swimmers. This new category was scheduled for its debut during last year’s Berlin World Cup, but did not receive a single entry.

Thomas, who was an average swimmer at best when competing against men, is no longer a member of U.S. Swimming, making the court’s decision against a change in policy to benefit them much easier.

“The panel concludes that, since the athlete is not entitled to participate in an ‘Elite Event’ within the meaning of USA Swimming Policy, let alone compete in a WA competition, which occurs by registering with WA prior to a competition or by establishing a performance that leads to an application for registration as a WA world record, he simply does not have the right to participate with the eligibility to compete in WA competitions,” the court said, according to the outlet.

“The policy and operational requirements just don’t kick in with their current status.”

The U.S. Olympic trials will begin on June 15 in Indianapolis and, for the first time, will be held on a soccer field at Lucas Oil Stadium.

In 2022, when ESPN and ABC honored Thomas during Women’s History Month, Thomas sat down with ‘Good Morning America’ and made it clear that the 2024 Olympics were on her mind.

“Swimming in the Olympic trials  has been my goal for a long time and I would love to achieve it,” Thomas said.

Thankfully, common sense has prevailed and women will have the opportunity to compete on the women’s swim team and represent the United States in Paris.
