China coach urges gender test on Park

CHINA women's soccer coach Shang Ruihua is questioning the eligibility of South Korean player Park Eun-Sun for the upcoming women's Asian Cup and has urged authorities to conduct a gender test.

"If Park is participating in the Asian Cup we will definitely appeal to the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) to test her gender," Shang told Chengdu Business Daily. Park has been selected for the South Korea training squad after a five-year retirement. The 1.80m striker scored 13 goals in 11 international matches she played for South Korea before retiring in 2005 at 19. The 24-year-old scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 win over China at the 2004 Asian Under 19 Women's Championships. Another goal from Park at an East Asian tournament in 2005 contributed to the Korean senior side's first victory over China in 15 years.
