Are male sports reporters allowed in female athletes change rooms to do interviews?

I read that Don Cherry doesn't think that female sports reporters should be permitted in the male athletes change rooms.I just wondered are male sports reporters permitted in female athletes change rooms? I never really thought about it before and really don't follow sports .If you were an athlete at any level would you feel comfortable with a reporter of the opposite gender interviewing you in the change room ? What are your thoughts ?

Update:

I gather that males are not permitted in the female athletes change rooms.from what I' reading. Are the female athletes concerned that the male reporters will not behave appropriately in their presence ? It just seems like a double standard to me when we speak of equality or gender bias. Do athletes of either gender get any say in this matter or is it a one sided situation .that teams must abide by regardless of what the players of either gender would prefer.

    No, they are not. It is a double-standard and it doesn't make any sense.

    Unless you're a homosexual, then you would be more comfortable with a person of the opposite gender
