KOLKATA, India (AP) -- Indian authorities investigating a rape case say a sprinter who won a women's relay gold medal at the 2006 Asian Games is actually a man.

Police charged Pinki Pramanik on Monday with raping and assaulting a woman she was living with in the eastern state of West Bengal. The woman alleged Pramanik was a man who had reneged on a promise to marry her.

There is a Led Zeppelin song called “Royal Orleans” written on somewhat of a similar theory.

That Adams Apple is a sure giveaway every time.. With a billion people, they can’t find a woman that can run... Good heavens.. :)

Doesn’t one have to have the required equipment to be a man accused of rape? I guess we must have a strip down physical including a DNA test prior to the race.

Is that like tranny chic?

So if a female agrees to sex and even lives with you, when you decide to move out she can call it rape when she changes her mind after the fact?

Marry me, or I’ll say it was rape!

Pinki Pramanik on Monday with raping and assaulting a woman she was living with

Am I reading this wrong or are they still refering to the person as "she" even after proving it's a "he"?

[ConservativeStatement]

That is the fun factor. From how I interpret the Wikipedia entry, she has some male private parts but not all.

Pinki could get elected in Massachusetts.

This is like Caster Semenya of South Africa, who won Silver in the 800 metres in the 2012 Olympics (as well as several other medals in international competition).

The Olympics ceased compulsory gender testing in 1992. After Semenya won Gold at the 2009 World Championships, she was subjected to a gender test - but there were charges that the decision to test her was racist and that she wasn't informed why she was tested. Semenya became a celebrity cause for people of indeterminate gender.
