When the truth of her gender came out the males were so embarrassed that they decided to wrestle topless henceforth so that no women could compete in their midst. So in other words they tried to shame the women to non participation. It really is a shame cause considering what Turkish Oil wrestling looks like participation of women would have made it the most watched sports in the world
I am Turkish guy never heart such kind of stroy. Where is written this stroy?
