In this day and age, it’s not uncommon for an athlete’s accomplishments to be questioned. Usually the inquiries and tests revolve around performance-enhancing drugs, not the athlete’s sex.
South African Caster Semenya is the exception. After running faster, toning up and vocalizing in deeper tones, race officials questioned her changes and asked Semenya to submit to a series of gender tests to prove that she’s a female, including visiting a gynecologist.
In spite of the flap, Semenya has continued to break records this week’s world championships while her family has jumped to her defense.
Will she “pass” her gender tests when the results are revealed in a few weeks? 72% of voting Predicto Mobile community members say yes.
“A person knows what gender they are,” says “txwp9684.”
“I think I would be upset about all this if I were her,” says “LuvsaKnight.”
“[Because] she won and isn’t gorgeous she has to be a man?” asks “bluemo7.” “Of course, that’s how every thing works!”
