Iran in trouble for fielding men in a female football competition

 

A FIFA medical officer on Tuesday rejected media reports that Iran had broken rules by fielding women footballers, winners of a recent Asian championship, who were actually men.

An official for FIFA rejected the claims of rule breaking, though she indicated some players had previously suffered medical conditions that affected their appearance.
According to the rules, any players participating in overseas matches, should first go through gender verification by FIFAs medical representative, Haratian explained.
