Members of the Harvard swimming team were apparently given a letter about transgender athlete Lia Thomas' involvement in the sport, former college swimmer Riley Gaines tweeted Tuesday.

Gaines is now a champion of equality and fairness in women's sports and has been outspoken against the NCAA, Thomas and plenty of other organizations that allow biological males to compete in female sports.

Gaines was made aware of the letter, which reads: "The conversations and controversy surrounding Lia have been challenging to read. In particular, they focus or (sic) what is fair and what is ethical. Regardless of your personal stance, Lia has been incredibly transparent and is abiding by all NCAA rules. That is a fact. Having watched [Schuyler Bailar]'s transition first hand, I can tell you that if it wasn't for the support of the teams, he may not be here today. Life is more important than politics. While we will never tell you what to do or what to believe, it doesn't benefit out team from winning a championship if we spend our collective energy getting annoyed or frustrated. Let the NCAA figure out their next steps. Let us focus on our team. And if any press reaches out, then please direct them to our Sports Media Office and ideally, refrain from comment."
