Easy win.

That's the thing...the ban is so not about safety or fairness of competition that the government themselves directed sports administrators that during the time period in which an investigation / decision is being made about whether a child meets the eligibility requirements or must be banned...the player accused of violating the ban gets to keep playing.
Quote:
Can an athlete continue to compete if a challenge to their eligibility has been made?
Yes. Athletes can continue to compete in a female-only league, class or division of a relevant sport until the board of an in-scope entity has determined that the athlete does not meet the eligibility requirements.
Athletes that do not meet the eligibility requirements must be prohibited by boards of in-scope entities from participating in a female only league, class or division of a relevant sport.

If the 'challenged' player is subject to being banned on the basis that their participation would be unsafe and / or render the competitions unfair, then how can they be permitted to continue playing for potentially a couple of months while the challenge and appeal process is running its course?
Also - side note - there is no show and tell or DNA swabs. The process for determining a challenge is the kid has to secure a copy of their original hospital record showing the sex they were registered as at birth (not birth certificates because they can say something else)...and the Alberta taxpayers are ultimately footing the bill:
