The BBC has seen the birth certificate of South African athlete Caster Semenya, which states that the new 800m world champion is female.
Ms Semanya, 18, has been told to take a gender test after several remarkable improvements in recent performances.

She may not be gay but I’ll bet her husband is.
Guilty!
Yep, we need a gender test.
HA!
I am of the thinking that she is a woman but has male testicles that never dropped meaning she has the chromosones of a man but the female body parts which means she has more testosterone and she will be disqualified.
Yes, they just tend to be less prominent than on men.
The Adam’s apple is much more prominent in men. Its prominence is a secondary sexual characteristic. A prominent Adam’s apple is one way to spot men dressed as women.
After viewing several pictures of her(?), I can’t see any feminine features at all. Her/his body, face, hair and hands (did you see the size of them?) all appear totally masculine. Also, did you notice how she (?) alwasys wears long shorts, while all the other ladies were very short ones.
I guess the gender tests will tell the story, but my guess is this not even a person of ambiguous gender, but simply a boy posing as a girl.
From the Guardian:
“Semenya’s father, Jacob, told the Times: “We won’t accept her having to undergo those tests, and we agree – she should [have] rather rejected the medal. We won’t allow our daughter to be disgraced.”
Sounds like a coverup to me.
LOL!!
Bringin' the heat.
“She” may be a female genetically masculinized by a pituitary tumor.
“Take that you nasty old thing!”
Just out of curiosity, how do they rule if she’s a hermaphrodite?
In some of these cases, a birth certificate is not always definitive. Sometimes the doctors, aware of an abnormality, will just *select* a gender.
LOL
