HARARE, Zimbabwe - A prize winning track athlete who competed in women's events was actually a man, a court in Zimbabwe has been told.
Samukaliso Sithole, who competed in domestic and regional competitions, faced charges of crimen injuria, or psychological offense, in the Zimbabwean city of Bulawayo, the state-run Herald newspaper reported Wednesday. Prosecutors alleged Sithole offended the dignity and sexuality of a woman who befriended him, confided in him and felt comfortable being naked around him, all the while believing him to a woman, the newspaper said.
Sithole was identified as a man to the complainant by an acquaintance, as he and a group of women were preparing to travel by train to a track meet in Bulawayo, the court heard Tuesday. Sithole tried to sprint away from the train station but was caught. Police then supervised a medical examination.
Sithole told the court he was born congenitally deformed. A tribal healer, known in the West as a witchdoctor, gave him "female status" but the spell didn't work properly because his family didn't pay the healer's full fee, Sithole said.

Sithole? SITHOLE??? Well of course Sithole is a woman!
It would be SITPOLE if he was a man. Period, end of argument !!! ;-))
It was all over, once he competed in the pole vault - and brought his own.
There's a Michael Jackson defense argument in here somewhere that's just waiting to be exploited.
I Love FR Writers!
I saw the headline and knew the members here would not let me down in some much needed humor today!
You didn't!!! Double LOLs
Wonder no more - Herself is not much of a runner.
But now that the question is brought up, a thought is forming. In a few recent cases, there have been females who have faked pregnancies, then at the expected time of delivery, kidnapped or otherwise obtained a newborn from another, and passed it off as their own.
There have been numerous questions as to the possible paternity of Herself's child, but up to now, nobody has questioned the maternity of that same child.
Herself would know. But if Herself were, say, a transgender, unable to reproduce under normal circumstances, and the presence of a child would make Herself "more of a woman", would anyone doubt that certain steps might be taken?
LOL:)
I told the witch doctor, he'll have no more to do
I told the witch doctor that with him I was through
And then the witch doctor, he told me what he'd do
He said-

Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Bringin' back the wing-wang...
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang
Comin' back you wing-wang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Bringin' back the wing-wang.
