‘Lia’ Thomas banned from future women’s swimming
By Pandra Selivanov
When it comes to international competition, FINA is the authority that the International Olympic Committee depends on to administer water sports. Founded in 1908, the organization’s biggest controversy in the past was its 2021 ban on Soul Caps, a headgear designed for natural black hair. Now, though, FINA has taken on a much bigger issue than what kind of cap is suitable for competitive swimming. The federation has courageously voted to ban Will Thomas, aka Lia Thomas, from women’s sports.
FINA does not mention Will by either his true name or his alias. The organization has simply voted to ban transgender swimmers from women’s sports unless they transitioned before the age of twelve. Such a ruling effectively cuts off Will Thomas from creating any more records at the expense of real women athletes.
This is welcome news for every girl who dreams of one day being a champion athlete. The World Swimming Coaches Association (WSCA) had already paved the way for FINA’s decision by announcing on May 13, 2022, that men calling themselves women should not compete against real women.
