Lia Thomas' push for World Aquatics to overturn its policy on transgender swimmers was blown up on Wednesday. The Court of Arbitration for Sport's 3-judge panel made the ruling
Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer who created controversy during the 2022 season with a win at the NCAA championships, lost a legal battle over rules that prevented trans swimmers who have been through male puberty from competing in elite women’s events. The Court for Arbitration of Sport dismissed Thomas’ request for arbitration with World Aquatics, according to a ruling released Wednesday.
Thomas asked the Switzerland-based court to overturn the rules, saying they were invalid, unlawful and discriminatory. 'The panel concludes that she lacks standing to challenge the policy and the operational requirements in the framework of the present proceeding,' the court said in a ruling. The three-judge panel said USA Swimming had no authority to 'to modify such scope of application' of its rules.
