Category Archives: Caster Semenya

I got a bit of flak here from some of the usual suspects when I dared to cast doubt on the sexual identity of Rainbow Nation athletic luminary Caster Semenya. The BBC was keen to echo suggestions that it is … gasp. .. almost racist to suggest that “she” might be a “he”. Comes the news that Sex tests carried out on Caster the world 800 metres champion, show that she is a hermaphrodite, a source close to the case claimed tonight. If the allegation is backed up by the results, the South African may well find herself stripped of her gold medal and banned from racing. Is it cos she is black?
