Swimming Australia moves to shut down Mollie O’Callaghan ‘fake quotes’ about transgender athlete

Swimming Australia has addressed the circulation of "fake news" and "fabricated quotes" attributed to swimmer Mollie O'Callaghan regarding transgender athlete Lia Thomas. The comments, which suggested O'Callaghan would not participate in the 2028 LA Games if a transgender swimmer is allowed to compete, were not posted from her social media account. The World Aquatics rules currently bar Lia Thomas from competing in the female category. Swimming Australia has moved to shut down the spread of this misinformation and clarify the facts surrounding the issue.
