Interestingly enough, "Caster Semenya" can be used to spell out "Yes, a secret man." Anyway, such an unfortunate development.

This is just more of the slippery slope of performance enhancing drugs, training techniques, and genetic advantages. IMO as time goes on, olympic/sports records are going to get more and more fucked with no clear way out.

I don't get it. "She" did not look at all like a woman, in the least. If you watch interviews with her, "she" talks in a deep voice and acts like a dude. There was no mystery here -- there was no way "she" grew up thinking "she" just a normal girl like everybody else. If anything "she" has been exploited by her handlers but to cast this as anything other than a planned cheat is ridiculous.

Does she have a vagina? I've met lots of women that i didn't find the least bit feminine. Some had a lot of facial hair. Others had deep voices. Others acted like guys. It's all very unappealing to me, but none of these things are a smoking gun. If she had a visible penis/testes this would have been over fairly quickly and it would have been settled in an unambiguous manner, so it's really not that simple. The fact is, this woman falls in between the sexes. Nobody knows what happened at this point, but something messed up or didn't happen while she was developing. To say that she must have known is idiotic.

You're just being dense.
