evidence: Paula Scanlan tore into sports officials while noting Wednesday’s decision to refuse permission for Thomas, 25, to compete in women’s events at the Olympic Games. [...] Thomas had previously competed on the men’s swimming team before switching to the women’s team in the fall of 2021. The swimmer then began changing in the women’s locker room, which Scanlan previously said was traumatic for her as a sexual-assault survivor. [...] Thomas filed a suit against World Aquatics (WA), the world governing body for water sports including swimming, seeking to overturn their 2022 policy prohibiting athletes who have been through "any part of male puberty" from competing in the female category, according to The Guardian.
