Opinions on this chick/guy? should she still be able to compete on the women's track & field tour, despite the recent revelations?

Didn't they determine she didn't have a uterus? That makes her a hermaphrodite or a tranny.

yup.... they proved that she had testicles inside her, giving her high levels of testerone..... so technically she is a hermaphrodite.

Everyone in South Africa is pretty pissed that she's had to go through as much as she has recently. Really don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand she's technically not a female and could be stripped, but on the other it's a natural advantage, like Michael Phelps' slightly abnormal build (wide shoulders, long slender body, big wide feet).

She's as much female as she is male. Female athletes tend to be more masculine than your average female, that's why they make good athletes. Like I said in the other thread, sport is about genetic advantages, unless they officially want to recognise a 3rd inter-sex gender in sport then what can be done?

The way this has all happened is disgraceful. She's 18.

Indeed. Look at Usain Bolt. He has, so it appears, what can currently be described as the 'perfect' physique for a sprinter. He has the regular attributes of someone adept at running incredibly fast, combined with a huge stride. He is truly a man apart at the moment, absolutely untouchable and quite unique. No suggestion of stripping him though.

that is true, but Bolt is not a woman with testicles, providing more testoterone than the average female athlete.... Being jacked is not an unfair advantage..... he may have been born with the physique, but there is no doubt that Usain has had to work/train hard to keep it in peak performance to attain his advantage

lol Caster Semenya name anagram.

YES, A SECRET MAN.

Seriously though. Still feel the same about it, she's been treated 'mad' unfairly, and like ECG said - she's fucking 18.
