evidence: A Facebook post claims that Lia Thomas has been ordered to compete with men, instead of women. We did the fact check to term it as False. According to a Facebook post from 22 June 2024, Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer, has been banned from the 2024 Olympics. It further claims that she was ordered to compete with men. [...] No, Lia Thomas has not been ordered to compete with men in the 2024 Olympics. The claim that she has been mandated to compete against men is incorrect. Even though she is ineligible to compete in women’s events at the Olympics due to World Aquatics’ rule, there is no directive requiring her to compete in men’s events. She remains eligible to compete in other non-elite USA Swimming events in the women’s category.
