Cuban would be even more skeptical when the NBA gender barrier is actually crossed.

"Whenever it happens, there will be a lot of DNA testing going on," Cuban said during his exercise routine before Tuesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Gender testing became a controversial subject in the track world this year, when there were doubts whether South African world championship runner Caster Semenya was really a woman. It was reported that Semenya had male and female sexual organs, but the South African sports ministry kept the results of her gender tests confidential.
