End The Trans Madness! Swimming Magazine Calls on NCAA to Act Now

It’s time to stop the madness. University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, a man who’s being allowed to compete for the women’s swimming team, has all the advantages of a female using performance drugs according to John Lohn, editor of Swimming World magazine. Lohn will know. He’s seen it first-hand.

Lohn wrote that Thomas, who competed for the UPenn men’s team for three seasons, has all the advantages of women who won Olympic Gold medals by using steroids. So many people are called cheaters. He stressed that he isn’t calling Thomas a doper, though.

The NCAA needs to step in and end this transgender insanity because Thomas “has a clear-cut edge over the biological females” he is competing against.

“For the good of the sport, and for fairness to those competing as biological women, a ruling must come down soon. If it doesn’t, the NCAA just doesn’t care,” Lohn says.

After reviewing a list of past swimming dopers, Lohn wrote:

Not rampant doping is the latest problem facing sport, but complex circumstances with potentially devastating outcomes. Yes, we’re discussing the Lia Thomas saga – again. It’s a debate not soon to go away, and with each passing day toward the NCAA Championships in March, the potential of Thomas racing for a Division I crown becomes a more pressing issue.

Clean Olympic swimmers who depended strictly on their conditioning felt the same way about cheating opponents as Thomas’ opponents now feel, Lohn wrote:  

Mentally, doping-fueled athletes were also more powerful. Clean athletes knew they would be entering a race that was already behind them. This proved to be a major blow to the system. There were many questions before the first beep. What can I do to keep up with them? What can I do to counter their advantages? This setting has been permitted.

Thomas has similar benefits.

This should sound familiar to people following the idiotic transgender movement forced on women by LGBT pressure groups and the athletic policymakers they’ve intimidated.

First, we heard from Connecticut high school girls who were cheated out of state championship sprinting medals by two boys dominating their races. They sued, and the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice threw their lawsuits out the door.

Now, the UPenn swimmers – the real women — and their foes are crying foul. Outkick was told by one of them:

They feel so discouraged because no matter how much work they put in it, they’re going to lose. Usually, they can get behind the blocks and know they out-trained all their competitors and they’re going to win and give it all they’ve got.

Parents of UPenn swimmers bravely sent a letter asking the NCAA to stop this stupidity. The NCAA hasn’t yet had the decency to even respond to them. I call them courageous because anyone who stands in opposition to the LGBT cancel machine gets thoroughly trashed.

They said:

“At stake here is the integrity of women’s sports. The precedent being set – one in which women do not have a protected and equitable space to compete – is a direct threat to female athletes in every sport. How do you define the limits? How is this in line with the NCAA’s commitment to providing a fair environment for student-athletes?”

Lohn is very concerned about what might happen to Thomas if the NCAA permits him to take over the competition right through to the March national competition. Thomas isn’t just winning races; he is also obliterating competition. He’s destined to deny women of the championships they deserve to determine without intrusions on their sport by men.

Maybe that’s what it will take to wake up the NCAA: a huge outcry from people across the nation who are not buying into this gender-bending nonsense. In recent years, the NCAA has allowed LGBT voices to goad it into punishing states, like North Carolina, for passing laws to protect the sanctity of women’s spaces.

We need more people like Lohn, the UPenn parents and opponents to bend the NCAA’s ears about this travesty.
