Among the mechanisms which successfully explain the generation of the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe, Leptogenesis through right-handed neutrino decays is especially attractive. Unfortunately, this theory suffers from a lack of testability. Indeed, the high energy relevant ingredients in the asymmetry creation are either indirectly linked to low energy observables or unreachable by our present experiments. We propose here to take the problem the other way around by studying whether this mechanism could at least be disproved. We argue that the observation of a right handed gauge boson W_R at future colliders could play this role.
