South Africa's 800m Gold Medal Favourite Accuse Of Being A Man Before Race (Pic)

The gold medal favourite in tonight's women's 800m World Athletics Championships race is today facing claims that she is really a man.

South African Caster Semenya, 18, is set to race in tonight's final in Berlin after sailing through a semi-final on Monday in her first major international sporting competition.
But the teenage sensation has sparked controversy over her strikingly muscular physique, and today insiders claimed she would be gender tested following the final in Berlin.
Officials at the world athletics body, the IAAF, confirmed that organisation is aware of the controversy. A spokesman said the IAAF were unable to intervene in tonight's race, but sources claimed Semenya will be tested.

South African athletics chiefs furiously denied the claims and stated Semenya was definitely female.
Molatelo Malehopo, general manager of Athletics South Africa, said: 'She is a female. We are completely sure about that and we wouldn't have entered her into the female competition if we had any doubts.
'We have not been absent-minded, we are very sure of her gender. We are aware of the claims that have been made but our aim at the moment is to prepare Caster for the race this evening.
'We have not started testing and we have no plans to do.'
IAAF spokesman Nick Davies said officials had no proof of any foul play and were therefore unable to intervene.
He added: 'At this moment in time we do not have any evidence to stop her running.'
Despite the IAAF's statement, sources indicated Semenya would be tested after raising suspicion during an incredible performance at a junior championship.
The teenager, from Polokwane in South Africa's Limpopo province, burst onto the running scene at last month's African Junior Championship in Mauritius where she clocked 1:56.72 in the 800 metres.
The time was the best recorded in the world so far this year by more than a second.
A source at the World Championships in Berlin said: 'Semenya put in an astoundingly quick performance three weeks ago and prompted suspicions over her gender.
'Experts were concerned over the way she runs and urged the South African athletics body to test her.'
The well-placed source said Semenya would be subjected to a complex process of gender testing which could take several weeks
