Semenya is a hermaphrodite!

SYDNEY (AP) - World 800-meter champion Caster Semenya of South Africa has male and female sexual organs, the Sydney Morning Herald said on Friday, posing an ethical and political quandary for athletics' ruling body.

The Herald said extensive physical examinations of 18-year-old Semenya ordered by the IAAF have shown she is technically a hermaphrodite.

Medical reports indicate she has no ovaries, but rather has internal male testes, which are producing large amounts of testosterone.

The newspaper said the IAAF was trying to contact Semenya to inform her of the results. After dominating her race at the world titles in Berlin last month, Semenya was given blood and chromosome tests as well as a gynecological examination.

"This is a medical issue and not a doping issue where she was deliberately cheating," IAAF spokesman Nick Davies was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

"These tests do not suggest any suspicion of deliberate misconduct but seek to assess the possibility of a potential medical condition which would give Semenya an unfair advantage over her competitors. There is no automatic disqualification of results in a case like this."

The IAAF has said Semenya would probably keep her medal because the case was not related to a drug matter. But the Herald said an alternative possibility was to award a second gold to the runner-up, Janeth Jepkosgei from Kenya.

LMFAO!!!!!!!

I knew there was something odd about him/her.

I can't imagine why they would not take the title, because there is an unfair advantage. Egads

It wasn't on purpose. No reason to punish Semenya for something that her/his body did. Now though, what events can he/she participate in? Not a true man or woman.......

How would that happen?
Are you saying that he/she was born with both sex organs?

[Kranky]

The first 5 letters of her/his name should have given everyone a hint.

"Semenya".

That's exactly what a hermaphrodite is. Someone that is born with BOTH sets of sexual organs. Not something that they are able to choose. I had an aunt that was born that way. She and my uncle never did have any kids. There are others that have both sets more complete where the male organs are external, and the female organs are internal, and they can have kids. Again, not something they choose. You could call it a freak of nature.

Not unlike SIMESE TWINS. Where two people share the same body parts. In this case, the sexual organs are the two different people, and the rest of the body is shared. And, there is no reasonable reason to punish someone because of what nature did to them. In some cases, nature is already doing that.

Yeah, I just searched it.
I know that worms, flowers-trees and some bugs and stuff have both ...but I honestly never heard of it in humans. A word that big, you'd think that I've had, but I've never heard of it before.

When I first heard that they didn't know whether Caster Semenya was a boy or girl..I thought, "well,..how hard can it be? If he's African, it shouldn't take a blind man to notice in those tight shorts."
