It continues to disappoint me and, presumably the majority of New Zealanders, that our female leaders in sport are failing to defend the women they are supposed to represent.

Women are being denied the opportunity to represent their country, to gain scholarships and sponsorships.

Women need to get some testosterone and assert themselves; they need to boycott events where there is unfair competition.
