'It has been reported that Banda was excluded from last year’s competition, which served as Zambia’s World Cup qualifier, because she failed gender testing procedures. However, Telegraph Sport has established that Banda never underwent the test, with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) disclosing that the Zambians chose instead to leave her out.
“I can confirm that there was never a test conducted by CAF on Banda,” the organisation said in a statement. “We do not know the reason why she was not included in the squad or registered.”
Zambia acknowledged that they had been made aware, after Banda’s star turn at the Olympics, that her abnormally high testosterone levels were in excess of CAF’s permitted levels and that a course of hormone suppression had been offered to the striker.
But Banda, along with at least two other players – including Racheal Kundananji, also in the training camp in New Zealand – is said to have refused to take any suppressants, fearing potential side-effects.'
