Alison Centofante, a frequent contributor for the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute (JDFI), interviews Riley Gaines, a 12-time All-American swimmer at the University of Kentucky who won five Southeastern Conference (SEC) titles.

Gaines tells JDFI about the shocking experience that drove her to become a leading advocate for equality and fairness in women’s sports.
The 2024 presidential election is just over ten weeks away. This race is the most consequential in decades. The individual voted in as our next president – and those who control the next Congress – will determine whether our constitutional republic survives.
The Democratic National Convention is now underway in Chicago. The Windy City offers attendees many free-time options. Unfortunately, one choice is to visit a “death-mobile” for complimentary service.
In this final video, Riley Gaines explains to JDFI contributor Alison Centofante the incident that finally pushed her over the edge. After tying U of Penn’s Lia Thomas – a biological male swimmer on the women’s team – in the 200-yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA Division 1 Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships, an NCAA official pulled her aside. Privately, he told Riley it had been decided that only Thomas would be allowed to hold the winning trophy for photographs.
In this reel, Riley Gaines describes how she watched in horror as Lia Thomas (formerly Will Thomas) began beating Olympic-grade female swimmers by body lengths, event after event, at the 2022 NCAA Division 1 Swimming and Diving Championships.
According to Riley Gaines, everyone (including coaches, other female competitors, and a few sportswriters) believed that, with the situation having been revealed, Will Thomas (a man with mediocre swimming ability and competing with women) would surely be stopped by the NCAA. Well, to Riley’s disbelief, the NCAA saw absolutely nothing wrong with Thomas’s participation, actually calling it “non-negotiable.”
Now ranking in third place in women’s swimming nationwide, Riley Gaines discovers that her main competitor in the path to a national championship in women’s swimming (Riley’s life-long goal) is the University of Pennsylvania’s (U of Penn) Lia Thomas. But in a bone-jarring twist, Miss Thomas is reported in a news article to be Will Thomas, who swam three years on U of Penn’s men’s team before deciding to switch to the women’s team.
