Lia Thomas has launched legal action against World Aquatics as the American swimmer bids to compete again in elite female sport.
Thomas, who is transgender, has been unable to do so since a ruling by swimming’s governing body two years ago that blocked transgender female athletes from competing in the women’s elite capacity if they had been through any part of the male puberty process.
Until then, athletes had been permitted to compete provided they lowered their testosterone levels.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) have confirmed that Thomas has registered a request for arbitration “aimed at challenging certain parts of World Aquatics’ Policy on the Eligibility for the Men’s and Women’s Competition Categories”.
