Mediocre swimmer Lia Thomas learned Wednesday that he cannot compete in swimming competitions that would qualify him for the Olympics, finally ending a yearslong saga that saw him win an NCAA women’s championship.

Thomas, a biological male who identifies as a woman, made a mockery of women’s swimming when he decided to transition in the middle of his collegiate career at the University of Pennsylvania. The opportunity to compete against women changed his career trajectory and landed him atop the podium at the NCAA championships in 2022, a place he had hardly sniffed when competing against men.

Intent on continuing his athletic farce on the world stage, Thomas decided that he wanted to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris next month. But he ran into a roadblock from World Aquatics, the international governing body of swimming, which has implemented rather strict rules for so-called transgender athletes that completely disqualified the deluded UPenn swimmer.

Ever the aggrieved victim, Thomas sued World Aquatics in the international athletics court system, claiming that the World Aquatics standards for transgender athletes discriminated against him and, therefore, could not be enforced. On Wednesday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled definitively that Thomas could not compete as he lacked standing to challenge the World Aquatics rules.

The ruling guarantees that Thomas will not compete in the USA Swimming Olympic Trials, which will begin Saturday and run through next week. The top performers at the Olympic Trials will represent the United States in the pool at next month’s Olympics.

While Thomas lost his case on a procedural issue, his absence from competition is nevertheless a victory for fairness in women’s sports. Since he emerged on the scene in the fall of 2021, he has mocked and humiliated many a female swimmer who dedicated years of training to achieving her athletic goals.

If there were any justice, the NCAA would strip him of the national championship he was awarded in 2022. Nevertheless, for today at least, the madness that Thomas unleashed on the swimming world is at an end.
