    Caster Semenya in Gender Scandal...

    new womens' 800m world champion is being forced to take a gender test over fears she may actually be a man.

    top comments include:

    "Michael Seme told South Africa's News24 website: 'We understand that people will ask questions because she looks like a man."

    and

    'She looks manly, of course, but is she the only athlete who looks manly? I don't think so. Just because she has facial hair means absolutely nothing. Would they have tested her if she wasn't African?'

    It must be very distressing for him to have to go through all this. I admire her greatly for keeping his mind on the job in hand and having the balls to win so convicingly.
