Tests show that controversial runner Caster Semenya is a woman ...and a man!

The 18-year-old South African champ has no womb or ovaries and her testosterone levels are more than three times higher than those of a normal female, according to reports.

The tests, ordered by The International Association of Athletics Federations after Semenya's 800-meter victory in the World Championships, determined she's a hermaphrodite - having both male and female organs.

Semenya could be stripped of the gold medal she won in Berlin last month and her competitive future is in limbo, according to Australia's Daily Telegraph.

The athletics governing body is also expected to advise her to have surgery to fix the potentially deadly condition, the paper reported. The IAAF would not comment on the results that have yet to be released.

According to a source with knowledge of the IAAF tests, Semenya has internal testes - the male sexual organs that produce testosterone.

Testosterone is a hormone responsible for building muscles and for producing body hair and a deep voice.

Confirmation of the test results is sure to stoke the controversy that erupted after the university student's sensational track triumph.

She has been embraced in her home country - where she was declared "our girl" - and appeared on a magazine cover after a feminine makeover.

"God made me the way I am and I accept myself. I am who I am and I'm proud of myself," she told You Magazine, which ran a photo spread.

"I don't want to talk about the tests. I'm not even thinking about them."

Wow. I had a dog named Stinky who was a hermaphrodite once.

I'm actually encouraged a little to hear this, because it might raise some awareness as to this issue.

Bottom line: Can this chick catch a football and if so, can she be the Chiefs #3?

Sucks for the girl, has to be pretty trying on her. All for something she didn't have any control over.

So the question that comes up, do we now need 3 different categories in sports? Men's, Women's and Hermaphrodite's?

it does pose that question, perhaps lines need to be drawn in some other way other than gender?

No, because countries and athletes will do whatever it takes to win.. Not saying she did, but people will do it.. It is our nature..

like rip out their ovaries and uterus...I mean I hear what you're saying, but it's not like it's something that shouldn't be considered to at least look at what lines we are drawing because of a person's gender.

If it gets her testosterone levels to normal I would agree.. If she wants to compete as a woman she needs the testes she has that give her all the extra testosterone and muscle building removed if she wants to compete with other women..
