A USA Swimming official resigned in protest of male swimmer Lia Thomas, saying she can’t back a sport that allows “biological men” to compete alongside women.
Cynthia Millen had officiated USA Swimming meets for three decades, New York Post reported. She stepped down ahead of last week’s U.S. Paralympics Swimming National Championships in Greensboro, N.C.
“I can’t do this,” Millen wrote in her resignation letter, which the Washington Examiner reported. “I can’t support this.”
Big League Politics has covered the story of male swimmer Lia Thomas’ adventures on the woman’s swimming team in the past. The swimmer, who is a man, previously was alleged to have bragged about beating female swim opponents, saying it was “so easy I was cruising.”
