Semenya's time is not even in the Top 10 All-Time and would not be good enough to win @ Beijing Olympics (won by Pamela Jelimo).

Jarmila Kratochvilova looks even more masculine.

My point exactly,I guess Jelimo has breast,and she's also pretty .
Everyone talk about her masculine body,but I don't see anything different with it compared to other athletes.The only difference is she have a very deep voice,and that's what people are using against her.

Africa united behind Caster - Continent’s athletic bigwigs demand apology for 800m champ’s ill-treatment

AFRICA is closing ranks in support of golden girl Caster Semenya.
Sowetan can exclusively disclose that the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) meeting yesterday decided to confront the International Athletics Federation (IAAF) about their treatment of Semenya.
The CAA is demanding an unequivocal apology for Semenya and Athletics South Africa (ASA) before any further discussion on her.
The row over the gender of the 18-year-old 800m gold medalist is still raging after her victory at the 12th IAAF championships in Berlin last Wednesday.
IAAF general secretary Pierre Weiss added fuel to the fire when he said they were to investigate whether Caster was male or female after questions were posed by some runners.

“ They must apologise to Caster and SA before … any further discussion on the matter” said an African official who declined to be named yesterday.

Rapport newspaper yesterday reported that the IAAF was conducting tests on Semenya although she had not been informed of this.
So enraged is the ASA president Leonard Chuene that he has recused himself from the IA AF council as he “wants to fight the case with his gloves off”.
Efforts to contact Chuene in Germany yesterday were unsuccessful.

Why didn’t the world make a noise about Navratilova?IS IT a girl? Is it a boy? Is it a woman? Is it a man?
So many questions and only one answer really. Caster Semenya is the world 800m champion. Case closed. Finish and klaar.




It is just not athletics when the biggest day in the life of an 18-year-old village girl is shrouded in a scandal that shrinks her sweet moment and sinks it in a sewer of jealousy, envy and bigotry.
I say jealousy, envy and bigotry because the creators of the controversy that casts doubt on Caster’s gender say racism does not enter their equation.
The controversy creators happen to be of Western and European origin and, boy, do I not believe them when they distance themselves from the evils of race.
Why? Because one of their own, Martina Navratilova — the lady who makes Mick Jagger look drop-dead gorgeous — was not necessarily feminine in her heyday as tennis queen. Note the use of words “lady” and “queen”.
When the world was told Navratilova was a woman, the world did not question it.
Strange, don’t you think, that when a girl from rural Polokwane makes it big in 2009, all manner of gists (gynaecologists, psychologists, endocrinologists) creep out from nowhere, vigorously seeking to verify her sex.
Caster’s crime is that she has boyish looks.
I submit that all these gists had no shadow of doubt in their minds, when they watched Navratilova win Wimbledon after Wimbledon, that she was not a Bobby on the beat.
Navratilova was the undisputed and unquestioned QUEEN of the tennis courts, her masculine body, mannish looks and fetish for the female folk notwithstanding .
And remember, this has got nothing whatsoever to do with race.
Race is also apparently no factor in the screaming headlines about Semenya’s sexuality that stole the show from her scintillating achievement at the World Athletics Championships.
Whether she has more male chromosomes is a matter between Semenya and her God.
Most of those who are making a mockery of her magnificent feat around the world and here at home hail from the Christian world.
Their actions since Semenya took the world by storm unwittingly reveal their hypocrisy, since Christianity preaches against judgment.
Some Russian and Italian women are saying she is definitely a man.
That is the sound of truckloads of sour grapes, buckets full of envy and jealousy.
They cannot stomach defeat, especially to an African monkey.
Some say this is not about looks.
Hell, it is about looks and Semenya looks too damn good showing them a clean pair of heels on the track.
They don’t mind losing, but when they lose to a black girl it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.
It becomes a bitter pill to swallow because they are left to mutter she must be a man.
Thank God the curtain has fallen on the World Athletics Championships. I have been having nightmares since all those East European Amazons, who make Ollie le Roux look like Barbie, have been invading my telly.


You must be at the OR Tambo airport today to welcome back home not a boy wonder, but our very own golden girl.

Hysteria Over Caster Semenya Has Only Just Begun



The latest is that Semenya, the 800-meter world champion, reportedly has high testosterone and a coach famous for stuffing East Germans full of steroids, and that her hero is WWE wrestler John Cena. Only one of these things actually matters.

The first two revelations come to us from the U.K. Telegraph and tell us little except that we're now in the midst of a full-blown international panic over a foot race:

A source close to the investigation into the 800 metres gold medallist has confirmed that tests carried out before the start of the World Championships indicated that the runner had three times the normal female level of testosterone in her body.

Telegraph Sport can also reveal that the head coach of the South African team is Dr Ekkart Arbeit, the former East German coach who was accused by a female athlete of giving her so many anabolic steroids that she was forced to undergo a sex-change operation and live the rest of her life as a man.

The Telegraph admits that it's not clear "how closely Arbeit has been working with Semenya." The implication, I guess, is that he's shot Semenya full of the same stuff that eventually turned Heidi Krieger into Andreas Krieger, even though by most accounts Semenya's androgyny has been a lifelong issue and not something that came recently at the tip of a syringe:

According to Eric Modiba, headmaster at the Nthema secondary school where Semenya was a star pupil, she was "unique" from the start.

"When she was a young girl Caster was stripped of a medal at an athletics meet after teachers complained she was a boy, but she was reinstated on my insistence as the winner," he said. "In fact it was commonplace for ‘toilet checks' for Caster whenever she competed in inter-school championships.

"I was caught out, too. Caster was always rough and played with the boys. She liked soccer and she wore trousers to school. She never wore a dress. It was only in grade II that I realised she was a girl myself."

[, ]

Unusually for a young woman perhaps, Semenya's main interest has been WWF wrestling, a sport notable for competitors with extraordinary physiques.

"Her obsession is wrestling," said Dorcus. "She has many wrestling posters, particularly WWF." Her favourite figure is John Cena, a bodybuilder who became a world wrestling champion.

So she's always been a little unusual, hormonally and otherwise. This shouldn't be a surprise. The girl won the 800 title by more than two seconds — of course she isn't normal. All great athletes have some sort of freak abnormality, something the hysterics would do well to remember here. Michael Phelps has short legs and double-jointed knees; Semenya has a lot of testosterone and five o'clock shadow. The difference is that her abnormality makes everyone say ewww.

though she looks like a man, but looking at other athletes post from the previous page, l will say she even looks like a woman more the white lady posted at the previous page.

That shd allow her to be abeg.

that's a transgendered!!!!

Gender-tested South African star Caster Semenya gets a whole new look for a magazine photo shoot.

[size=16pt]Embattled track star Caster Semenya gets new coach, new look[/size]

It's been a week of change for Caster Semenya, the South African runner at the center of a gender controversy at last month's world track championships.

First, one of her South African coaches quit the team in shame for not telling Semenya that she was being subjected to gender tests. (Semenya had thought she was taking a doping test.) Then, Semenya appeared on the cover of South Africa's You magazine with a complete makeover designed to silence critics who insist she is a man.

For the shoot Semenya sported a less ambiguous hair style, a designer black dress, jewelry, makeup and nail polish. Despite what you think about the whole situation, it's safe to say that this is the first time that Semenya has truly looked like an 18-year old woman.

She says she likes the look too. Semenya told the BBC:

"I'd like to dress up more often and wear dresses but I never get the chance.

I am who I am and I'm proud of myself."

Let's hope this is what she wants though.

Nothing Semenya has done in the past month has suggested that she likes to wear dresses, get manicures and let down her hair. After the controversy broke, she kept her cornrows, wore baggy clothes and pounded her chest in victory like a college football cornerback. When she returned to her hometown, she was dressed the same way. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. That seemed to be Semenya's natural inclination. This feels forced.

Hopefully I'm wrong. But if Semenya was pressured to do this to silence her critics, then this is a sad story rather than one of retribution. The opinions of a few jealous coaches shouldn't have an effect on how an 18-year old carries herself. If Semenya wants to wear dresses then she should. But if she wants to run around in track suits, what's the problem with that?

The coach who resigned wasn't Semenya's personal coach, but a middle distance supervisor on the South African team who was ashamed that Semenya was kept in the dark about the growing controversy. Wilfred Daniels said he was told the issue was supposed to stay private.

THE controversy over gender row champion runner Caster Semenya deepened today — after reports claimed sex swap tests have shown she is a HERMAPHRODITE.

Semenya is claimed to have NO womb or ovaries — and has internal testes, the male sexual organs which produce testosterone.

The Telegraph report said tests had found Semenya had no womb or ovaries, but that she had internal testes, the male sexual organs which produce testosterone, and her levels of the hormone were three times that of a 'normal' female. no wonder she left the other contestants licking dust.
