Summary: Another Test For Renee? (Press, 15 April 1977)
On 15 April 1977, the Women's Tennis Association announced its endorsement of the United States Tennis Association's decision requiring Dr. Renee Richards to undergo an additional sex chromosome test in order to qualify for the national open championships. Dr. Richards, a 42-year-old transsexual, expressed significant disappointment regarding this announcement. Although a previous Barr body test had confirmed her female classification, the validity of the results has been challenged by several prominent medical professionals. In other sports news, the Auckland women's golf team has been announced to defend the Russell Grace trophy in Palmerston North. The team comprises Sue Bunt from Titirangi, Alison Father from Huapai, Jorelyn Glanfield from North Shore, Cherry Kingham from Grange, and Kay Maxwell from Grange, with Margaret Fyfe from Manukau listed as the travelling reserve.
