African Games
Police had to separate squabbling women handball players during yesterday's Egypt-Uganda match in Harare. The Zimbabwean team were cheering the Ugandans and mocking an Egyptian player, Hanan Eid, who has been at the centre of a gender dispute, when tempers flared. Last week Eid was accused of being a man in disguise and was ordered to undergo a sex test, after which the organisers apologised to Eid and her family.
