Transgender swimmer ‘not eligible’ to compete in Paris as a woman

Sky News host James Macpherson says common sense has “won the day” after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled transgender US swimmer Lia Thomas was “not eligible to compete in Paris as a woman”.

Mr Macpherson said Thomas was in court “arguing for the right to race as a woman against women in Paris”.

“The 25-year-old was a below average swimmer as a rale …. but then identified as a woman and started dominating female events,” he said.

He is eligible, he just needs to swim with other men

[blancablz]

He should be stripped of his medals that woman were robbed by him. I dont know how they even let him compete with women.

It's a bloke It's not up for an argument.

[speedymccreedy]

Have a separate trans games, see how many spectators turn up, and see how many advertisers wish to have their products boycotted.

It says the world is making sense again instead of denying reality.

Now how are mediocre men gonna win Olympic gold

[AnointedSpirit]

Thomas needs to accept who he is, a homosexual man.

[Protectiontoisrael]

A hollow victory. Boo to him. Always was always will be a male.

[pwillis.]

Excellent. Maybe he should race against other men.

[Roxy]

He's FREE to qualify to compete in the proper category: men's swimming. Good luck, William....

[twofargne]

Finally some people are starting to pull their heads out of their arses.

[tamimrktz]

That we even need to call out this unfairness shows how far we have sunk.

[theKingsAmbassadors]

Why don't all the female swimmers simply boycott the event in solidarity ?

[ThestDukeDroklar]

It's a sad time when something so common sense is newsworthy.

[daveywaite]

Lia Thomas could get prostate cancer, Riley Gaines cannot. THE END.

[jessicaaguilar]

Oh i just love this... "eligible to compete as a men in men's swimming category, " lia as in liability stop dreaming you have got nothing nor balls to compete with real men!

[danor]

He's only doing this because he could never win competing against men.

[jt]

The cheating dude finally getting put in his place.

[Nedchilvs]

He's a total charlatan. I'm 50 but am entering an under 7s footbal team, I'm sure I'll be top scorer.
