A Hall of Fame swimming coach spoke out Tuesday against allowing transgender athletes like the University of Pennsylvania’s Lia Thomas to compete in the NCAA women’s division, decrying it as “an assault on women’s sports.”
Dave Salo, who retired last year as head swimming coach at the University of Southern California, said the NCAA policy that permits Thomas to swim against women after one year of testosterone suppression “compromises all the work that has been done by women athletes.”
“I don’t think it’s fair at all,” Salo told The Washington Times. “I think it really compromises the gains that have been made in women’s sports for the last 30 years. It’s going backwards. I think the NCAA and IOC have not really looked at the policy that directs this question.”
