Caster Semenya, the world and Olympic 800 meters champion, is fighting "unfair" regulations that hinder certain female athletes. The International Association of Athletics Federations brought in controversial new rules in April that mean some women with high natural testosterone levels could be excluded from middle-distance races. Semenya, a two-time Olympic and three-time world champion, is the highest-profile athlete expected to be impacted by the rules that divide medical opinion. The South African's lawyers, Norton Rose Fulbright, which has offices in London, issued a statement on Monday saying the athlete would "file the legal challenge to ensure, safeguard and protect the rights of all women on the basis the regulations are irrational, unjustifiable, and in violation of the IAAF Constitution (based in Monaco), the Olympic Charter, the laws of Monaco, the laws of jurisdiction in which international competitions are held, and of universally recognized human rights.

Caster's new bride sure had a lovely wedding gown.
Isn’t that supposed to be SEMEN YO!
eff this candy-ass pansy queer...
Nice banana hammock there, bro...
It looks to me like a karyotype would confirm the presence of Y chromosomes.
So Caster was born a female, ended up with too much testosterone, and was into women? Wow, that is actually an interesting conundrum for gender in sports. She wasnt just identifying as a female, she really is one. I dont know the answer for this. She should be able to compete, but what does this mean?
Will hormone levels determine which gender you compete with? Very strange.
Get to the castration and there wont be no semeninya
Endless problems when governments pretend: slavery, holocaust, abortion, homosexuality nonsense ...
Cue Austin Powers.
and we are sure she is not supplementing testosterone...how?
The hermaphrodite conundrum.
already done!
What a sick world.
Disgusting.
But that really is a conundrum. What do we do? There wont be many, of course, but you have to make the rules favorable to people who cant help it while keeping men out of womens competitions. Can you be male on the basic of hormones alone, if they are natural?
It looks like ‘she’ has a penis. Or a YUGE clit
Semen? Ya. See men? Ya.
There are rumors that Caster is a hermaphrodite (female genitalia plus descended testes). The new PC term for that is “intersex”. If so, that might explain Caster’s hyperandrogenism.
“It looks to me like a karyotype would confirm the presence of Y chromosomes.”
One must be allowed to compete based on chromosomes period. XX or XY is just the way it is. If one is female and blessed with extra testosterone levels she has a superior advantage but is just lucky and must be allowed to compete. Actually that blessing of extra testosterone in a female is a bit of curse. If that extra testosterone level is the result of a syringe it is just simply doping and must be disqualified.
In the parlance of Hillary Clinton, this matter has already been litigated.
Caster Semenya is a hermaphrodite. She has internal testes and no uterus. When this was discovered and it was a big story several years ago (perhaps 2008), her community expressed outrage and cried, “Racism!” Her mother said something like, “Well, sure, she never had a period, but we just thought she would start menstruating later.” Now, come on! Even in the most remote, rural parts of the world, women worry when a girl doesn’t begin to menstruate by a certain age.
