In a shocking turn of events, swimmer Riley Gaines has just made a bold move by calling on the NCAA to amend Lia Thomas’ records after the University of Pennsylvania apparently submitted to none other than former President Donald Trump on the issue. Yes, you read that right – the swimming world has been turned upside down by politics!
In a statement released by Gaines, she declared, “It’s absolutely ridiculous that Lia Thomas’ records are being allowed to stand. As a swimmer myself, I know how hard we all work to achieve our times, and it’s not fair for someone to come in and completely dominate the competition like she has. It’s time for the NCAA to step up and do the right thing.”
When reached for comment, a spokesperson for the NCAA simply stated, “We are aware of the situation and are currently reviewing it. We take all concerns seriously and will make a decision in due course.”
But perhaps the most surprising twist in this whole saga is the alleged involvement of Donald Trump. According to sources close to the situation, the University of Pennsylvania caved to pressure from the former President, who reportedly said, “I know swimming, I have the best strokes, believe me. Lia Thomas is a winner, a tremendous winner, the best winner. Her records should stand, and anyone who says otherwise is a loser.”
In response to Trump’s comments, Gaines quipped, “Well, if Trump says Lia Thomas’ records should stand, then I guess we should all just pack up and go home. Who knew he was such a swimming expert?”
As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is for certain – the swimming world has never seen anything quite like this before. Will the NCAA heed Gaines’ call to action and amend Thomas’ records? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more updates on this wild and wacky story!
