See men, ya?

There was some sportswoman years ago who pwned in her sport, and everybody accusde her of being a man. So the governing body made her go for physical examinations to prove she was really female. I can't remember who she was or what the sport was though. Anybody?

I mind that but i can't remember a name either.

Anyway, a physical exam isn't actually enough. They generally need to do a genetic test for this sort of thing.

Guardian report which quotes various relatives and people who knew her as a child:

I feel quite sorry for her. Or him.

Would be a awful for the whole world to questioning your gender, if she is a woman, and having people having to test her, to prove it, might be embarrassing.

I think there are 3 possible outcomes:

She's really just a very gifted athlete that is hitting her peak at exactly the right time (probably the most likely)
Steroids (increase testosterone levels, explains the muscles and facial hair)
The 3rd option is The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks.

My boss is South African and he reckons there's a very distinct difference in facial shape when you look at black South African males and females. His exact words when he looked at the pictures were "That's a fuckin dude, broo!". I think I'm with him on this one.
