A star swimmer who set records for Stanford and was an NCAA champion and Pac-12 Conference Swimmer of the Year has alleged he was kicked off the team because he is gay.

Abrahm DeVine made the claim in an Instagram post on September 30, saying he would not be returning to the school as a postgraduate as he had initially intended.

"Why is it my job to educate coaches and athletes at the most resourceful university in the world?" he asked in the post (below).

"Everyone says they support me, and yet, for the millionth time, I am the only one speaking up. To my coaches who sport the pride flag on their desk, to the athletes who liked my pride photo on Instagram, I need you to wake up to what’s happening around you," he continued.

"How can you say you support me and my equality? How can you not see how Stanford Swim has treated me and used me over the last 4 years? Am I invisible? Plain and simple: there are surface level reasons I was kicked off the Stanford swim team, but I can tell you with certainty that it comes down to the fact that I am gay."

When asked by a reporter in the comments if he was free for an interview he said he was "not trying to engage with news sources on this."

In an interview with Swim World Magazine last year, DeVine said his team was accepting of him after he came out.

According to KPIX, Stanford Assistant Athletics Director Brian Risso responded with a statement that said, in part: “It is truly unfortunate Abe feels this way. That said, Abe wasn’t invited back to train with us this fall, as a postgraduate, for reasons entirely unrelated to his sexuality.”

Stanford men's and women's swim coaches Greg Meehan and Dan Schemmel released a joint statement, Swim Swam reports.

"Abe wasn’t invited back to train with us this fall, as a postgraduate, for reasons entirely unrelated to his sexuality,” they said. “We take pride in the inclusivity and supportiveness that exists on both our men’s and women’s teams, but we will continue to strive, as always, to improve those aspects of our culture.”

DeVine posted a screenshot to his Instagram story of a comment alleging he was asked not to return due to going out drinking before a major competition and then lying about it, to which he added, "Ask everyone about Abrahm's experience except him."

"Prime example of my 'supportive' teammates being 'supportive' when I speak up," he wrote.
