‘Akin To Doping’: Swimming World Editor On Lia Thomas’ Biological Advantage

A new article by the editor-in-chief of Swimming World magazine compared the advantage Lia Thomas has over NCAA women’s swimmers with doping, as the controversy over the biological male competing in women’s swimming events continues.

John Lohn called on the NCAA to act “quickly” in the case to protect the “fairness” of women in collegiate swimming.

Thomas set school records at Penn for the 200-meter freestyle and 500-meter freestyle on November 20.

“Now, the NCAA needs to act, and it needs to act quickly. This scenario – with the effects of doping – cannot linger. For the good of the sport, and for fairness to those competing as biological women, a ruling must come down soon,” Lohn wrote.
