Update: African Runner Both Male & Female

Remember this article that I posted about a month ago?


18-year-old Semenya wins 800 at worlds; IAAF wants her gender tested




BERLIN
- Facing questions about her gender, South African teenager Caster
Semenya easily won the 800-meter gold medal Wednesday at the world
championships.

Well, the test results are back. 

Report: 800 champ has male, female sex organs


Track officials could face major dilemma concerning South African teen star





SYDNEY - World 800-meter champion Caster Semenya of South Africa has male and female sexual organs, the Sydney Morning
Herald said on Friday, posing an ethical and political quandary for
athletics' ruling body.

The
Herald said extensive physical examinations of 18-year-old Semenya
ordered by the IAAF have shown she is technically a hermaphrodite.

Medical reports indicate she has no ovaries, but rather has internal male testes, which are producing large amounts of testosterone.

The newspaper said the IAAF was trying to contact the athlete to inform her of the results. After dominating her race at the world
titles in Berlin last month, Semenya was given blood and chromosome
tests as well as a gynecological examination.
