Caster Semenya gender bender...
An unusual story I stumbled across figured Id pass it along>
Report: Semenya has male, female sex organsAssociated 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.
Gender bender? The controversy surrounding Caster Semenya hasn't ended yet. See what all the fuss is about in these pictures.
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.
Semenya's reported condition could have grave medical implications.
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."

Even though this isn't a petting zoo, you can still stroke my cock if you want.

Her coach claimed that he had her checked and that's why he was so confident that she'd pass the circuit's sex tests. Why would he do that if he didn't suspect anything was off?
Those two points, together, are pretty damning because in this circuit the rules clearly and plainly say that if you're in an odd gender situation you're supposed to go before the circuit's doctors so they can figure out what to do about it.
Knowing you have a medical condition, and then hiding it so you can play as the side you identify with, is clearly against the rules in this circuit.
They are probably going to blacklist her, her coach, and every other handler she has that suspected something was off. Especially if they can prove people knew something was going on before the story broke.
And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all
