  Three former athletes at the University of Pennsylvania women's swimming program sued the school, the Ivy League Council of Presidents and athletics organizations Tuesday, claiming they violated federal law to allow transgender athlete Lia Thomas to compete against them.

The article from CNN discusses a lawsuit filed by 16 swimmers from the University of Pennsylvania against the NCAA, challenging the organization's transgender athlete policy. The swimmers allege that the policy, which allowed transgender swimmer Lia Thomas to compete in women's events, violates Title IX, a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs. The lawsuit claims that Thomas's participation deprived female athletes of honors, records, and opportunities, including at the 2022 NCAA Championships. The swimmers are seeking to have the NCAA's transgender policy declared unlawful and are also requesting unspecified damages. The case has reignited debates over fairness in sports and the inclusion of transgender athletes in gender-specific competitions.
