Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines slammed former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas by calling the transgender athlete 'an arrogant cheat' who 'stole a national title.'
"Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title," Gaines wrote.
Gaines went on to describe Thomas as"an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman," saying that the"[NCAA] is responsible." The 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer made the comments against Thomas in response to a segment on ESPN which honored the transgender swimmer as part of its Women's History Month celebrations.
Gaines, who works as a spokeswoman for the Independent Women's Forum, has previously spoken out against Thomas and said she feels an obligation to do so since no one else would.
