Genoveva Anonma says "I had to strip to prove my gender"

This is what Africa’s top woman footballer said when she made startling revelations when she discussed her supposed gender test conducted by African Football Confederation(CAF).

"They asked me to take all my clothes off in front of officials from CAF and the Equatorial Guinea team," she recalls.

"I was hoping they would call me to tell me they were taking me to hospital to do tests, but they never did," she says.

"They did nothing to me. It was just down to me alone to defend myself, to state that I am not a man, I am a woman."

She was aghast by such a disgraceful act which attacked her individuality in every possible way. But now she has moved on from that shameful ordeal and looks to focus on football.

"I was really upset, my morale was low and I was crying. It was totally humiliating, but over time I have got over it."

Fellow African players have always doubted her gender as it is evident from this dastardly statement from Diana Amkomah.

"You only need to have physical contact with them on the pitch to know this [that they are men]," said Ghana defender Diana Amkomah at the time.”

Anonma faced up to the media to refute the allegations as this created a furore over this scandal.

"These accusations come because I am fast and strong, but I know that I am definitely a woman," she said at the time.”

Despite all this, Anonma is the one of the top African players at the moment.
