I’m quite sympathetic to her view that it’s a genetic gift and her’s to take advantage of. 

This is what I think too. I think forcing her to take drugs she doesn't want to take is disgusting.

It’s all speculation as the medicals she was forced to endure haven’t been made public, but the assumption is she’s Intersex and has external female genitalia and a mess inside which is a mix of everything with nothing fully working but all making a certain contribution on the hormonal front.

Forced to endure?

I certainly have sympathy for her too, I think they are going down a dangerous path.

Agreed, does this open the door for performance control to equalise competition for the benefit of the spectator, or worse?

It must be a lot of suffering to endure all the probing and investigation for them to come to this decision Paul?

On 7 September 2009, Wilfred Daniels, Semenya's coach with Athletics South Africa (ASA), resigned because he felt that ASA "did not advise Ms. Semenya properly". He apologised for personally having failed to protect her.

The level of empathy on this topic is humbling

No, just pathetic.

 Just how many genders are we going to end up with ?

All this talk of intersexed transsexual etc etc is shite.

I am not religious in any shape or form, but from those times there has always been TWO sexes. Male and female.

Just how the hell can you have multiple variations of that and pretend they are a separate sex. they are not. They are medically or physically misformed.

Not their fault, but a line has to be drawn.

That's just it Dilli, she is not claiming to be anything other than a woman, it's the stupidity of the sport trying to say she's something else to level the playing field. It has happened before.

Women produce Testosterone naturally but don't have bollocks, who knows what's going on?
