EIGHT MEMBERS OF IRAN'S WOMEN SOCCER TEAM ARE MEN

There is a bizarre policy that allows biological men to play on women’s teams if they believe they are women trapped in men’s bodies. This policy was announced by the International Olympic Committee and allows men to participate in Olympic events without undergoing sex change procedures.
Iranian soccer officials are accused of taking advantage of the policy by filling the women’s soccer team with eight big, strong, fast men. #laughs
This policy is a joke! 

When the policy was announced, people were concerned some countries would take advantage of the policy and replace their female athletes with men and just as feared, it happened, starting with Iran.

Iranian official, Mojtabi Sharifi, confirmed that the men were waiting for sex change operations.

Soccer authorities have demanded that all 8 men undergo gender testing to determine their levels of testosterone. This isn’t the first time the Iranian women’s team has fielded men. There were rumors that the players were men in 2011 and random gender checks in 2014 revealed some of the supposed women were men.

The problem is complicated by the Iranian culture which prohibits women from traveling unless they are given permission by their husbands or fathers. For example, Niloufar Ardalan who was recently prevented from accompanying the soccer team to a game in Malaysia because her husband would not allow her to travel.
