The controversial swimmer claimed to have transitioned to a woman, and this season tore through the competition of natural-born female swimmers, shattering one record after another as he went.

Ron DeSantis, who declared Weyant the actual winner of the championship race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c@GovRonDeSantis agreed!
