OMG!!! CAF strips female soccer striker naked to confirm if she is a woman



In 2014, Equatorial Guinea striker Genoveva Anonma made the headlines when she called for the 2015 African Cup of Nations to be cancelled to avoid spreading the Ebola virus to her home country.
According to BBC , during an interview, she reveals the horrendous treatment from the authorities of the African football. Her most disturbing and heartbreaking memory was of an incident following the 2008 African Women’s Championship. 

Immediately after the final, a match hat saw Anonma score the game-winning goal in a 2-1 victory over South Africa — tournament officials acted on accusations from opposing teams that she was not actually a woman.

Rather than instigate proper medical gender tests — which is bizarre enough, but standard procedure, apparently, because gender accusations are commonplace in women’s soccer in some parts of the world, AƱonma was forced to strip naked to prove her gender.
