Iran's Women Soccer Players Told to Take Gender Tests

[Type Username Here]

Think mandatory PED testing in baseball is bad? Players in Iran's professional female soccer leagues will have to undergo gender tests to make sure they're really female, the Telegraph reports.

The ruling comes after a few top players, including four on the national team, turned out to be men who had sexual development disorders or had undergone incomplete sex-change operations. "If these people can solve their problems through surgery ... they will then be able to participate" in women's soccer, said the top doctor in Iran's soccer committee.

Surprisingly, such surgical solutions are legal in Iran thanks to a fatwa, or religious ruling, by the Ayatollah Khomeini (homosexuality and pre-marital sex remain outlawed). So as it stands, medical examiners will show up by surprise at team practices, and soccer clubs have to medically examine all new players before they sign contracts. Seven players have already failed the tests, according to the IRNA state news agency.

Women's soccer is wildly popular among Iranian women, who are still banned from attending men's soccer games despite an attempt last year to loosen the law, Sports Illustrated reports.

These complications are so ridiculous. If they let gays be gays and didn't force them under the blade, they wouldn't have to take most of this extra trouble.

Wait, you're saying in order to escape persecution, gays removed/added sexual organs?

Nah but that was a serious question for @The Real . That's a level of fear and a response to that fear I can't possibly comprehend.

Nah... over there, the government doesn't believe in homosexuality and refuses to recognize it. Strangely, they believe all homosexuals are female or male souls born with the wrong body, something like transgenders here, and they force them to get sex change operations even if they don't want them. The State pays for everything, and after it's done, you have to live as the opposite sex. What's really strange is that people over there accept men who get surgery to become women as real women very readily, much more so than the US, but they don't understand homosexuals and believe they are all just confused trans people.
