Michael Phelps speaks to Christiane Amanpour CNN, and says that he believes in an even playing field, when asked about Lia Thomas, of Penn womens swim team.
Of course, P News interprets that as ironic because, erm, Michael has long arms.
I’d say if anyone understands competitive sport and fairness, it’s Phelps. I’ve liked him for a decade, and more so today.
Maybe someone clever than me could post an archive link to the PNews article, for those that don’t want to click. TIA.
