Track and field's governing body ordered the tests after Semenya's dominant gold-medal 800-meter performance at her first major international event. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128342113 ----- Taking "poor loser" to an entirely new level. | |||||

 Paid Disinformation Blogger Level: 14 CS Original | Actually, gender testing is fairly common in sports. A long time ago I downloaded one of the "official reports" from the Olympic Committee on one of the Olympics a while back, and there was a reference to gender testing where evidently somebody had to go into the dorms at the Olympic Village and make sure all the women were actually women. All I can say is, I'd hate to have that job. | |||||
