Eunuch-love. Quiet please, ladies and gentlemen

Two points re Eunuch umpires needed (for the Madrid Masters):

Being a eunuch doesn’t necessarily lessen desire or its outward manifestations. It depends when the snip occurs.
Eunuchs should be playing, not umpiring. Those intended for senior office in various societies used to be done in order to remove their ability to create a dynasty of their own and thus any ambition on their part to overthrow the ballboy-in-chief. Admitting only accredited eunuchs to major competitions would remove the principal challenge to umpires’ authority and make tennis once more a sport for all the family, a sport respected by all (or we’ll chop yer knacks off, mate).

More on this painful subject in the Wikipedia.
