Here is a picture of South Africa's runner, Caster Semenya. UPDATE: Check out this Caster Semenya Video Interview! Also see my other post, Caster Semenya Ambiuous Genitalia. If you're unfamiliar with this story, Caster basically makes people ask the question, "Is she a woman? Or is she a man?" The story if being reported all over the world. News.LaLate reports that officials questioned whether or not Caster was a woman after she killed her previous best times in the 800 and 1500.
"In the case of this athlete, following her breakthrough in the African junior championships, the gossip was starting to build up … The situation today is that we do not have any conclusive evidence that she should not be allowed to run…." stated Nick Davies, of the IAAF.
Caster Semenya is 18-years-old. Feel free to look at the pictures below. You be the judge. Is Caster Semenya a man?

I feel bad for her because she probably has been mocked all her life. At least she can be finally do something that she can be proud of. Besides, why are they questioning her gender now after she won. If there was a problem, they should have checked her out discreetly before the race instead of embarrassing her after she won.
