At least she can be finally do something that she can be proud of. Besides, why are they questioning her gender now after she won. If there was a problem, they should have checked her out discreetly before the race instead of embarrassing her after she won. :roll: I feel bad for her because she probably has been mocked all her life.

They are just mad because they were beat down by someone who obviously was in better condition/shape than the other athletes in the race.

I took the less scientific approach of showing her picture to my partner who is an Oxford-trained geneticist and asked for his exhalted opinion of "this guy". His carefully worded professional opinion was "Ewwww!" I concurred. He did opine that a simple chromosome test should do the trick. Those whose chromosomes are not definitive do not look like her.

Her coach Michael Seme told reporters earlier this week: "I can give you the telephone numbers of her room-mates in Berlin. They have already seen her naked in the showers and she has nothing to hide." Although, I guess, ultimatley your gender is not between your legs, on the one hand it is in your chromosomes and on the other in your brain.
