Ratio of independent normals is Cauchy — WW is not chi-square

Let (X,Y)∼N(0‾,Σ)(X,Y)\sim N(\underline0,\Sigma) where Σ=(1ρρ1), ρ≠0\Sigma=\left(\begin{smallmatrix}1&\rho\\\rho&1\end{smallmatrix}\right),\ \rho\neq0 and W=X−YX+Y1+ρ1−ρW=\dfrac{X-Y}{X+Y}\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\rho}{1-\rho}}. Then which of the following statements is not correct?
