Caster Semenya - Male or Female
Discussion
Is Caster Semenya, South African athlete, a man, a woman, was man, now woman, it seems there is a lot of doubt.
"Her coach, Michael Seme, has admitted that she has not been training at 100 per cent due to the uncertainty over her future, while it is also believed that she has been undergoing medical treatment for an inter-sex condition."
MORE,,,
"Caster Semenya will carry South Africa's flag at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.
In the report by the Telegraph, I feel the most telling paragraph is this one:
The 21-year-old Semenya will carry the flag at next Friday's opening ceremony in her first Olympics, three years after she was embroiled in a gender-test controversy that threatened her career and sidelined her from competition for nearly a year.

Google is your friend. The gist is that she was tested and passed as being a woman and allowed to compete again as a woman.
There is some uncertainty over the strictness of the definition of "woman" and her test results have not been released. Largely because it's her private medical business but the IAAF seems happy to let her compete. She may have a medical condition but she does not have/has never had a cock because the IAAF won't let them compete as women.
Now leave the poor girl alone.
