Gender Verification in Sport Wiki
Sex testing has been done as recently as the Atlanta Olympic games in 1996, but is no longer practised, having been officially stopped by the International Olympic Committee in 1999. This followed a resolution passed at the 1996 International Olympic Committee (IOC) World Conference on Women and Health "to discontinue the current process of gender verification during the Olympic Games." In individual cases the IOC stills holds on to the right to test on gender. [6]
Newer rules permit transsexual athletes to compete in the Olympics after having completed sex reassignment surgery, being legally recognized as a member of the sex they wish to compete as, and having undergone two years of hormonal therapy (unless they transitioned before puberty).[7] These controversies continued with the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing.[8]
The International Association of Athletics Federations ceased sex screening for all athletes in 1992, [9] but retains the option of assessing the sex of a participant should suspicions arise. This was invoked most recently in August 2009 with the mandated testing of South African athlete Caster Semenya. [10]
The Olympic Council of Asia continues the practice.[citation needed]

Yea they dot really have a choice anymore if they don't want to avoid a huge scandal. Firstly it would be really hard to verify EVERY athlete never had a sex change, also if they are legally a chick, what can they do?

Regardless of the testing and even if she's 100% female...I doubt she would look forward to the greater scrutiny, whispers, accusations she is already facing.
She would be on a world stage. Doesn't sound like fun if people are already talking so much about her on the tiny scale of women's collegiate hoops.
