Court dismisses transgender swimmer Thomas' legal challenge over ban

Reported 7 months ago

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed American swimmer Lia Thomas' legal case against World Aquatics' ban on transgender women from competing in women's elite races if they have undergone male puberty. Thomas, the first transgender athlete to win the highest US national college title, was seeking to overturn the ban, but the Court ruled that she was not eligible to challenge the rules as she was no longer a member of US Swimming. World Aquatics welcomed the decision, emphasizing their dedication to promoting fairness and inclusivity in aquatic sports.
