    Caster Semenlya, a female athlete, has been disqualified from a race she won because her testosterone level was too high..

    If she had run round the track in bra and panties like the other female athletes she would probably g0t away with it.

    I don’t get the bit about bra and panties, but the article left me wondering why she has such high testosterone level? In other words, what does her DNA identify her as, male or female?

    The IAAF and CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) is guilty of Apartheid, they are committing a crime against humanity and they better change their ruling right now or... I don't know what the **** Athletics South Africa (ASA) is going to do.

    Haven't you noticed the skimpy clothes that women athletes wear compared with men.

    Yeah. But what has that got to do with her testosterone levels. Put a man in bra and panties, he’s still a man, a man in bra and panties. Not once did the article mention her DNA, not her birth gender.

    They are telling her that because she is hyperandrogenic her body naturally produces more testosterone than the majority of women and in order to continue competing she will have to TAKE DRUGS for six months to slow down her bodies natural functions.She is not the only female competing at the highest levels of track and field who has this condition,several top level women also produce more testosterone than the average woman.
