We could do a separate piece on women who suffer from endometriosis in general, outside of sport. In many instances, they take the pill to prevent bleeding. That is a measure that is not taken lightly.

In performance, there is the physical side but there is another issue. I am thinking of tennis. Wimbledon will be on in a few weeks. It is something we all enjoy watching but we do not think about that side of it. Did the witnesses get feedback that there was a big issue with keeping focus? That is an important part of competitive sport. Did it impact their ability to focus on the event?
