Also, for the women who (fail) the test, the process (call) into question their very identities as women. The suspicion that several Eastern European women medalists were in fact men (drive) the push to begin testing. For the first test in 1966, the athletes (tell) to strip for a medical examination. Every woman who (attend) (pass) the test, but not every woman showed up. Perhaps the justification to continue this testing (fuel) by these no-shows.
