Semenya Caster

Is anyone else absolutely disgusted with the way that Semenya Caster is being treated?!

After becoming World Champion in the 800m with a stunning performance, her victory is being overshadowed with questions about her gender.

Yah, she looks like a man, but to be honest, so do a whole load of other female athletes! Just because she won by so much and did so well, along with her muscular physique, it doesn't mean that she is a man. And it's awful for her because now she has to undergo all these gender tests. The poor girl must be so embarrassed! Even after her mother presented her birth certificate confirming her gender, the investigation is still going on.

I don't know, I can't help but think they could have kept the investigation quiet. Done the necessary tests and whatnot and IF it turns out that she is really a man, THEN make it public. Not destroy her moment by embarrassing her in front of the whole world over a speculation about her appearance. It seems so wrong! I just want to shove a whole load of other athletes in front of the chairmen because there are enough times when I have looked at the physique of some of these sprinters and just shook my head and said 'She looks like a man'. Semenya is not the only one with a questionable gender. Her outstanding performance has shoved her into the spotlight for the wrong reasons.

I feel so sorry for her!
