No knows how to handle it, true. But supposedly Olympians with intersex/androwhateveritis/women with un-normal levels of testosterone supposedly occur much more frequently than in the general population of humans. In other words they might gravitate towards sport for obvious reasons, especially if they are from poor nations/areas.

So it’s not like this is an isolated incident, or a really rare thing I guess, at least in the context of sport.

My understanding is that this athlete was always raised as a girl, and had no idea of her condition until she raced in international meets. While all the specifics of her medical condition are not public, and nor should they be, it is safe to assume that the visible female reproductive anatomy is at least predominant.

Remember, she wasn't raised in San Francisco. She was raised in a tribal part of South Africa. They wouldn't tolerate raising a boy as a girl.

I agree with others that it is not right to denounce her for a condition that is not her fault. I also think it is not right that the sporting world forced her to take testosterone-inhibiting drugs, which CAS overturned.

Yes, she is an anomaly, and that gives her a competitive advantage. But it is a natural advantage, same as a 6-5 female basketball player.
