Share!






Caster Semenya, an 18 year old South African runner, is having her sex questioned by sports officials . Judges will strip the runner of the gold medal she won August in the 800-meter world championship if she cannot pass a sex-verification test. And to prove herself female, she must submit to and pass a battery of tests to determine her sex from experts such as medics, scientists, gynaecologists and psychologists.
