Rita Panahi says the FINA decision to ban trans women from competing in female competition was “fairness” triumphing over a “twisted version of inclusion”.
“FINA, world swimming's governing body, made the only rational decision possible and restored fairness to the women's competition by imposing bans on transgender athletes,” Ms Panahi said.
“Men are bigger, faster and stronger. The very best female athletes in the world have no chance of beating male competitors whether it's in basketball, tennis, athletics or swimming.
“In the end sanity prevailed. Reality trumped fantasy. Facts beat feelings.”
