"Park's gender was tested by Korean Football Association in 2004 when she was selected to national team for Athens Olympics," read a statement from the Seoul City Sports Council. "The demand from coaches from six different clubs to test the gender of Park again is double jeopardy. This is betraying the fundamental human rights of a player which should be protected at all means."
