Athlete Caster Semenya is involved in controversy regarding her gender after winning the women’s 800m gold medal at the IAAF World Track and Field Championships in Berlin on Wednesday (August 19).

IAAF has asked the South African athletics federation to conduct a gender test after her muscular physique and amazing performances sparked speculation that she is, in fact, a man. She does look like a man and for the sake of the competition, I think it’s fair to raise the question and do the tests. Of course, there is the possibility she is neither a man or a woman but a hermaphrodite.

The results of the test, which include a physical medical evaluation, along with reports from a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, an internal medicine specialist, and an expert on gender to resolve issues of ambiguous genitalia, might take weeks but her family has guaranteed Caster is a woman.
