For women, the guidance does not mandate routine testosterone blood tests, but it calls for screening for fatigue and disrupted menstrual cycles that can be associated with hormonal dysregulation and conditions called low-energy availability and relative energy deficiency in sport.

The neurenberg trials have allready established that "orders are orders" is not a credible defence.
... for blatant crimes against humanity, yes. Testosterone screening may be many dumb things but it's not that.
Don't worry about the sailors who have been starving on an unserviced dilapidated aircraft carrier. Or the fact they tried suicide to get off it. Definitely only worry about your red pill man juice status.
