Lia Thomas Out of Olympics
Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who made waves in college sports, won't be competing in the Olympics.
World Aquatics, the sport's governing body, banned transgender women who went through male puberty from women's events.
Thomas challenged the ban but lost her case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
This means Thomas is ineligible for the Paris Olympics and future major competitions.
World Aquatics aims to protect fair competition for female athletes while including all.
The decision has sparked debate about fairness and inclusion in sports.
An "open category" for transgender athletes is being planned for future competitions.
