I can think of an apt punishment if he wants to play in female tournaments.

"It was a bold gambit by the 25-year-old Kenyan chess player to disguise himself
as a woman to compete in his country's female open chess tournament.

Dressed head to toe in a burka and wearing spectacles, Stanley Omondi had
registered himself as Millicent Awour. But Omondi's daring move was exposed

An apt punishment? Well, Muslims cut off the hand of a thief, so a man who disguises himself in a burka and enters a women's tournament should have his goolies cut off.
