According to an Australian website, the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) had “conducted physical tests and genetical screening to determine the legitimacy of Semenya’s sex”. Semenya is due to run in the women’s 800m at the World Athletics Championship in Berlin, Germany. But, if tests have to be done, WHY now??? Why didn’t they do those tests before the final????
Apparently the 18 year old South African, Caster Semenya has got a muscular physique for a girl her age so they say. She has got facial hair and a deep toned voice.
Whether Caster Semenya has male features or whether she is a ‘He’, that should have been sorted out a long time ago before the World Athletics Championships began. Before the girl qualified for the finals of the 800m event.
Now they should just let her compete, if she wins so be it. After all how many women athletes look like man???
