This Chick Has Balls

Caster Semenya, forced to take gender test, is a woman ... and a man BY Oren Yaniv DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Thursday, September 10th 2009, 1:50 PM Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/worl...#ixzz0QjseO07f ![]() 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." |

I don't know what to think. I mean on one hand, it took some balls for her to compete in the Olympics... But at the same time, with her condition she knew could have screwed herself at any time. If she got caught.
Tough situation...

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..

I feel sorry for her but they should take her medal away.
It's an unfair advantage to the other girls that don't have balls. |

So, will the International Association of Athletics Federations tell her to screw herself.

The testosterone levels fall with the range for women. What's the problem?
Are you guys advocating taking away medals from competitors that have physical attributes others can't achieve like lung function, etc? |
