The FIFA forced the players of all teams to undergo a genital examination in the 2011 World Cup to show that they were womendenounced the former Swedish international Nilla Fischer in his newly published biography.
An “I didn’t even say half of it” (I didn’t say half), Fischer said that FIFA ordered the players to undergo this type of test following rumors emerged that there were men on the list of Equatorial Guinea in Germany 2011.
“When I learned of the surprising requirement, I blew smoke. In the middle of a World Cup, the bigwigs at FIFA want us to let’s show our genitals. They told us not to shave ‘down there’ for the next few days and to show it to the doctor followingwards. No one understands it, but we do what we are told and ask ourselves what is going on,” writes Fischer.
The examination was performed by a physiotherapist, while the doctor stood with his backas explained by the former player, who describes the experience, which was not repeated, as “disgusting” y “humiliating“.
“The way it was done it was excessive. I think that was why none of the players have told regarding it until now. We realized that it would only be talked regarding. As I write in the book, it was not niceFischer told the Swedish media.
The then doctor for the Swedish women’s team, Mats Borjessonconfirmed what happened, although he assures that it was done before the World Cup and that there was no bad intention.
“FIFA does not do these things in bad faith. The sport has tried do justice with the girls, so that it is not necessary to train for a lifetime and then you find yourself with something that is an absurd advantage”, Börjesson told the newspaper “Aftonbladet” in reference to the possible inclusion of camouflaged men in women’s teams.
