Two weeks before the games kicked off, the Olympics announced that
they were providing a newly enhanced gender determination lab to
determine the gender of "suspect" female athletes. The lab is equipped
with the newest technologies in sex identification, including
chromosomal testing. The purpose of testing female athletes is to
ensure that males are not competing in female competitions to elevate
overall team performance and increase medal count.
