Is South African Female 800 Meter Runner Really A Man?
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 08/19/2009 8:54:05 PM PDT by MindBender26

A female runner accused of being a man tonight took gold in the 800m World Athletics Championship.

South African Caster Semenya, 18, had to take a gender test after doubts were raised about her sex. But despite the furore, she easily took gold in the final in Berlin.

The teenage sensation has sparked controversy over her strikingly muscular physique. Today officials at the world athletics body, the IAAF, revealed that it ordered her to take a gender test three weeks ago.

If Semenya was proven to be a male she would be the latest in a string of gender fraud cases in international athletics.

The first athlete to be caught after the gender tests were introduced was Polish runner Ewa Klobukowska, who took gold in the women's 4 x 100 metres relay and bronze in the 100 metres at the 1964 Summer Games in Tokyo. She was later unmasked as a he after failing a chromosome test in 1967.

South African athletics fans today expressed their anger at the claims about Semenya's gender. Dozens posted comments on newspaper websites, with some claiming the speculation was racially motivated. One commenter, who did not leave their name, wrote: 'It just disappoints me every time that a good South African athlete comes around, there always seem to be questions.

'She looks manly, of course, but is she the only athlete who looks manly? I don't think so. Just because she has facial hair means absolutely nothing. Would they have tested her if she wasn't African?'

Another, 'Norman', added: 'What bull man! Our Caster is a woman, these European people cannot handle the fact that an African can actually be a champion in something and will always try to bring us down.'

Let’s see: muscles, check. Adam’s apple, check. Furry legs, check. Broad shoulders, check. No bosom, check. If she’s not a he, she’s well on her way.

Also: male jawline, male hands, male pecs, male pelvis, and--as you can clearly see in the photo in which he is leaping over a fallen competitor--a PENIS. I'm sorry, this is not a chick, not even an exceptionally ugly chick.

Why don’t they send Bawney Fwank in to find out. Bawney isn’t very busy these days anyway.

Today officials at the world athletics body, the IAAF, revealed that it ordered her to take a gender test three weeks ago.

IAAF spokesman Nick Davies confirmed the tests were taking place, though he said the results would not be confirmed for several weeks.

A gender test that takes several weeks for results. Only from a government-run system.

I thought it was a man until I saw the pink socks.

I mean - a dude wouldn’t put on pink socks? right?

'she also sounds like a man"

Yes, it does - a lot. It also has a mustache, that you can see clearly in that video. If it's not genetically a man, then it's been ingesting copious amounts of anabolic steroids for some time.

"Not small enough! "

Yes. The possession of a penis is one of those conditions - like pregnancy - that isn't subject to gradation. You've either got one, or you don't. Size, contrary to popular opinion, really doesn't matter in this circumstance.

S/He licks her lips like a man in that youtube vid, BUT s/he has those fat inner thighs that NO guy has. S/He is an in-between. No doubt about it, and it’s not that uncommon.

He/she/it looks like it could play corner back for the Saints.

Or, maybe, a place kicker for the Miami Dolphins???
