Controversial television personality Piers Morgan has hit out at reports suggesting transgender swimmer Lia Thomas could compete for Team USA at the Olympics, insisting she is a threat to the ‘integrity of women’s sport’.
In March, University of Pennsylvania star Thomas won the NCAA Division I national championship in the women's 500-yard freestyle. After previously suggesting she is aiming to take part in the 2024 Olympics trials, Thomas has now declared she'll compete for a spot in Paris.
She told Good Morning America that she intended to keep swimming, adding: “It’s been a goal of mine to swim at Olympic trials for a very long time, and I would love to see that through.”
