Olympic host Beijing has set up a gender verification lab to test
female Olympic athletes suspected to be males.

stolen medals through their greater strength, speed, endurance and
explosive force. So how do the Beijing Olympics deal with this
problem? And what measures have been taken to verify the gender of the
athletes?
