Lemonade Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 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?

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.

Mr Owl PhD Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Guardian report which quotes various relatives and people who knew her as a child:Caster Semenya's mother hits out at gender dispute | Sport | guardian.co.ukI feel quite sorry for her. Or him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Tank Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 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.

Kinnell Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMotivator Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 When I first saw that picture, I actually thought she/he was a man.However, after all the fuss, it'll probably turn out that he/she is a woman after all.You have to feel sorry for him/her though... imagine years from now, what will she/he tell his/her grandchildren? "Well, kids, I was an athlete back in the day. I was the one they thought used to be a man" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaseyBoi Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I know that hitler was so concerned with winning the olympics he actually made all his female athletes take mental steroid injections and shit and atleast two of them went on to have surgery to become men...If i remeber correctly i think one of them is still alive....Throughout olypian history there has been many many accusations regarding genders and theres some silly mental storys out there aswell...Like the male swimmer who throughout again i think it was the 30's dressed as a wifey and lived as a wifey just to compete as a wifey...He got found out aswell.....I also read in the sun a couple of days ago naming and shaming certain past athletes who after death were found out to have double genitalia....post op'ers....and all other kinds of mental shit done to there bodys due to fucked up steroids of the day...Anywho im waffling now and as usual cant be arsed getting links....Im sure some of you can though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?Think it was the GDR 400m runner. Name escapes me. Still holds the WR, so it's probably still rumour. There was a male high jumper in the 30s who Hitler got to dress as a wummin to win. This South African batwanger has come out of nowhere, when I saw the final I thought she looked well manly. But mind Maria Mutola in the 800?

But mind Maria Mutola in the 800?You're maybe thinking of Jarmila Kratochvilova, who was Czech, and is still 800m world record holder. There were lots of suspicions of her at the time, but not of the drugged up East Germans she used to beat. It seems she was clean (and a woman) after all.Here's the lovely lady: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
