Piers Morgan has compared transgender athlete Lia Thomas to a drugs cheat after the swimmer dominated a recent meet in the US..
At an NCAA college event in Boston, Thomas won her 100m race in 50.55 seconds, a second clear of the runner-up, and in the longer format clocked 1:47.08 with the next best finisher timed at 1:48.44.
Thomas was on the UPenn men's team during her first three years, but she is now competing on the women's team after undergoing the transition from male to female. She was required to undergo hormone therapy for 12 months before being allowed to compete as a woman.
