Report: Semenya has male, female sex organs

<!-- // Writer Attribution// -->Associated Press


SYDNEY (AP) - The IAAF declined to confirm a Sydney Morning Herald report that world 800-meter champion Caster Semenya has male and female sex organs.


IAAF spokesman Nick Davies says the group has received the results of Semenya's gender tests, but he would not discuss the findings.
"I simply haven't seen the results," Davies wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "We have received the results from Germany, but they now need to be examined by a group of experts and we will not be in a position to speak to the athlete about them for at least a few weeks.
"After that, depending on the results, we will meet privately with the athlete to discuss further action." The Australian newspaper reported in its Friday edition that medical reports on the 18-year-old Semenya indicate she has no ovaries, but rather has internal male testes, which are producing large amounts of testosterone.

Davies said the report should be treated with caution.


After dominating her race at the world championships in Berlin last month, Semenya was given blood and chromosome tests, as well as a gynecological examination.
The IAAF has said Semenya probably would keep her medal because the case was not related to a doping matter.
"Our legal advice is that, if she proves to have an advantage because of the male hormones, then it will be extremely difficult to strip the medal off her, since she has not cheated," Davies wrote to the AP. "She was naturally made that way, and she was entered in Berlin by her team and accepted by the IAAF. But let's wait and see once we have the final decision."
The South African Press Association reported Athletics South Africa president Leonard Chuene had not been informed of any reports by the IAAF. "These are insulting words that the media are using, but we are in the dark," SAPA quoted Chuene as telling The Star newspaper. "We just don't know what effect this information will have on her deep down. This process is not correct."

I'm quite into athletics and s(he) looks very much like a man, has the deep voice but I think it's hard to take away her gold medal unless there is conclusive proof she was born male and has had operations etc to change gender.

Apparently a birth certificate was produced showing her gender as female and gossip from other female athletes was she had female parts from viewing in changing room/showers etc so on the whole I think the accusations on her are very unfair.

Innocent till proven guilty IMO.

As far as her running goes she was awesome and for an 18 year old to just blow the best in the world apart like that was amazing. She just went to the front (ran crazy fractions) to fight of the early pace and made all the running very easily after that. It looked like the breeders cup mile winner would look running in a maiden.

He is the fastest woman in the world

There are some people out there who do not fit neatly in the category of man or woman. Is it a vagina or is it chromosomes and hormones?

Some obvious signs she might be a man...

Likes to play "Pull my finger" fart jokes with kids.

Goes to the restroom with the sports page and doesn't come out for an hour.

Likes to drink beer and burp really loud.

Has to shave face on a daily basis.

If she pulls down her shorts and has a penis, she's probably a man.

She looks like a woman here. I wonder what the medical definition of a woman is.

I can't get past the face. That definitely looks like a man's face.


I mean Ru Paul in drag looks like more of a woman than this person.
