Did you catch this interview concerning South Africa’s “golden girl” Caster Semenya, she would won the Gold medal whilst looking more masculine than Usain Bolt? It seems that she, and that proud ANC government she represents are “humiliated” by the suggestion that “she” may in fact be a “he”. The BBC managed to find plenty of family and supporters who insisted that “she was really a she”. From the BBC perspective it is all about how well athletics has supported this rising star. From my point of view, if gender tests have to be made, there is a problem! and one that South African athletics will run a mile from…in record time. I wonder why the BBC has such a problem criticising the South African authorities?
