The issue of Caster Semenya's gender is back in the news. Previously I posted on her stunning performance in Berlin at the World Athletics championship which aroused suspicions that she may in fact be a male.
She did indeed have testosterone levels more in keeping with a male than a female and now it is being reported that she has testes and not ovaries.
A sad outcome.
How this will be handled remains to be seen but the precedent set at the Asian games when Santhi Soundarajan suggests that she will be stripped of her medal.
Of course had she been born a male and have completed gender reassignment surgery she could compete as a woman under current rules which has always struck me as odd, so if a genetic male can compete as a woman why can't Caster Semenya who has apparently always lived as one?
