IAAF asks for gender test on runner Semenya

Updated: August 19, 2009, 5:16 PM EDT

BERLIN (AP) - The IAAF has asked the South African athletics federation to conduct a gender verification test on 800-meter runner Caster Semenya amid concerns she does not meet the requirements to compete as a woman.

The 18-year-old Semenya won the 800 final on Wednesday at the world championships in a world leading 1 minute, 55.45 seconds, beating defending champion Janeth Jepkosgei by a massive 2.45 seconds. Jennifer Meadows of Britain took bronze.

How do you go about nicely asking someone to prove their gender?

It's harder to tell with blacks.

He said the "extremely complex, difficult" test has been started but that the results were not expected for weeks.

The verification test requires a physical medical evaluation, and includes reports from a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, an internal medicine specialist and an expert on gender.

Do transgendered athletes compete with those of their chosen gender? That can be something else for GLAAD to whine about.

Didn't this happen to some Polish shot putter back in the 1970s?

It depends on the sport and the ruling federation.

Can't they just do a blood test?

From TV, supposedly, the answer is no. There have been some cases where athletes have been born androgynous or hermaphrodites, etc--that can fuck up basic tests, even genetic disorders. In a lot of cases, the athletes may not have even been aware of their true born gender....

Managerr is right. Usually the presence of a Y chromosome is a slam dunk--that's a man, baby. But there are all sorts of variations, such as XXY (superfemales).
