The NCAA made a shocking change of heart by taking back all the medals that were given to Lia Thomas and giving them to Riley Gaines. This move has shook the world of college sports.
This has never been done before, and it comes as Thomas’s involvement in women’s swimming events has caused a lot of controversy about fairness and inclusion in sports.
Making the choice to give the medals to Gaines instead of Thomas is a huge change for NCAA swimming.
Thomas, an athlete who is transgender, has been at the center of a heated debate about gender identity and sports.
Some people say that her biological advantages give her an unfair edge over her cisgender competitors, while others back her right to compete based on how she sees herself.
