They could have done the test away from the public glare saving the poor girl the embarrassment, she's only 18 yrs old.
In an interview, the communications director for the IAAF admitted that they didn't think she had done anything dishonest. </div></div>Comment

Re: Gender Contraversy at the Worlds....Skelly girlfren may
The mother of Caster Semenya has hit out at claims her daughter's 800m win at the World Championships was invalid because she is a man. The IAAF asked South Africa to test the 18-year-old's gender, after her muscular physique and extraordinary performances sparked speculation over whether she was really female.
But her mother, Dorcus Semenya, defended the athlete's victory in Berlin. "I am not even worried about that because I know who and what my child is. Mokgadi Caster is a girl and no one can change that," she said.
Speaking from her home in the village of Seshego, near Polokwane in South Africa's Limpopo province, the mother-of-six added: "If you go at my home village and ask any of my neighbours, they would tell you that Mokgadi is a girl.
"They know because they helped raise her. People can say whatever they like but the truth will remain, which is that my child is a girl. I am not concerned about such things," Dorcus told South Africa's Star newspaper.
Semenya's grandmother, Maphuthi Sekgala, said Caster had been teased about her masculine appearance since the day she joined the village football team as the only girl. Sekgala, 80, said: "I know she's a woman. I raised her myself."
When global speculation began mounting over Semenya's gender earlier this week, she rang from Germany to speak to her grandmother. Describing the conversation on Monday night, Mrs Sekgala told South Africa's Times newspaper: "She called me after the heats and told me that they think she's a man. What can I do when they call her a man, when she's really not a man? It is God who made her look that way."
Semenya faced years of taunting from other pupils at school. Sekgala added: "If the teasing hurt her, she kept the hurt to herself and didn't show what she was feeling. Semenya's sister Nkele, 16, defended her legitimacy as a female and said: "People must stop calling her a man because we are proud of her."
Semenya's former headmaster said he was "very, very proud" of the runner, but admitted she reached grade 11 before he realised she was a girl. Eric Modiba, head of the Nthema Secondary School, from where Semenya graduated last year, told South Africa's Beeld newspaper: "She was always rough and played with the boys. She liked soccer and she wore pants to school. She never wore a dress. It was only in grade 11 that I realised she's a girl."
Semenya was banned from speaking to the media following her race. She was taken away within moments of winning gold with an impressive 1min 55.45sec run, beating the defending champion, Janeth Jepkosgei of Kenya, into second place and leaving Britain's Jennifer Meadows to collect bronze.
Today the teenager's coach branded the timing of the speculation over Semenya's gender 'suspicious'. Michael Seme, who coaches the runner at the University of Pretoria, said: "I have been working with Caster since January and I can tell you now I have been training a girl, not a boy."
Speaking to the Cape Times newspaper, he added: "It is very upsetting that she has to undergo all this just hours before the most important race of her career. This is psychologically disruptive.
"While the IAAF is quite within its rights to conduct tests on any medal winner, the timing is suspicious. After all, she competed in the junior championships in Poland early this year and won. I would have expected that thorough tests for drugs and even gender were done then."

VERY suspicious indeed. The media will break you if they want to and "we" are such believers.
She must be suffering from this mess.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: _______</div><div class="ubbcode-body">ok, the greater concern at hand is this:
She was born with female genitals.
She grew up as female.
She did not undergo any artificial treatment to enhance male features.
Should she, because of genetic abnormality, be disqualified and stripped of her medal as a result of the anticipated findings??????
I think this would be unethical!
</div></div>
but wouldnt that give her some sort of genetic advantage..if she more male than femaleComment

Re: Gender Contraversy at the Worlds....Skelly girlfren may
The plot thickens, a senior IAAF official just said that they requested Semenyah undergo gender testing two weeks prior to the World Championships. The head of the SA Athletics Federation vehemently denied this and said that the IAAF should supply proof to back up their claim, he was furious.Comment

I really dont know what to make of this situation. If I had to make a decision based on her looks and her voice, I would say she is a male. A look at the belly area and we can see the stomach muscles which are known to guys who train with weights, as a "six pack"...
I am not sure if women possess these muscles but I have never really noticed a "six pack" so well defined as hers is, on a female before... With those arm muscles, she may be more a boy than a girl and doesn't know it. The experts will soon decide "which is which" or "what is what"....

Re: Gender Contraversy at the Worlds....Skelly girlfren may
yes she has the physical features but she does not have the genitals nor the reproductive capability of a man. Why try to define her gender on certain traits but not all?
Nature vs Nurture and all that good stuff.Comment
