According to this article from August the test is illegal in some countries. If correct we could find some issues emerge.  https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summer/athletics/track/sry-gene-testing-canadians-athletics-canada-dynacare-world-athletics-1.7618005

This was discussed on the press conference, the athletes would have 'opportunities' to do the test in other countries during tournaments.

In all seriousness, is this even a thing in any other country than in the US?
