The only examples I can think of (of a born female who would fail a barr body test) are an XY who is female due to defective testosterone receptors, and a X0 female who only has one X chromosome.

Neither one is likely to be able to compete successfully against a woman athlete due to the physical problems associated with their genetic defect.

XXY would fit the bill.

What about people who are mosaic?

Well thats the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
Its a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I left home just a week before
And Id never ever kissed a woman before
But lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy Im gonna make you a man

Well Im not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and Im glad Im a man
And so is lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Semen Ya or Semen No? I ain’t gonna be the judge.........

They would PASS a barr body test for female, but would look like and compete as men, but not very well.

Kleinfelter syndrome people are not exactly Olympic caliber athletes.

I was wondering what kind of chromosome abnormality would lead to a female who could compete but wouldn't’ pass a barr body, not what kind of male wouldn't be able to compete but would pass a barr body test.

XXY doesn't fit the bill.

Can a mosaic human be part male and part female? As long as part of the cheek that was swabbed had female cells the person would pass a barr body test (although the male part of the mosaic might produce more testosterone, which could lead to a competitive advantage).
