The(y) said aircraft cleared ILS 34L then went around due to gear problems....
Aircraft sent out to (t)he south to get its act together. It refused to lower its gear and crew had to complete a gravity extension.
Who are "they"? I spoke to an engineer working on the defect... and he said otherwise. He said that the crew cycled the landing gear several times, but kept getting the same faulty indications.

I believe it was an LGCIU fault, but Airbus acronymns are not my strong point
