For the first time in three decades, women who compete at this year鈥檚 Olympic
Games in Sydney won鈥檛 have to undergo a 鈥済ender verification鈥� test to prove they
are female. The authorities have never actually found a man masquerading as a
woman, but they have identified鈥攁nd humiliated鈥攁thletes with genuine
medical conditions, such as androgen insensitivity syndrome, a chromosomal
abnormality in which a genetically male person develops as female. The
International Olympic Committee has decided to suspend the testing on a trial
basis.
