Semanya : A woman in a man's body!! For 10 long years her life has been on scrutiny. In 2009, following her victory at the world championships, questions were raised about her sex. Having beaten her previous 800m best by four seconds at the African Junior Championships her quick improvements came under scrutiny and that is how it has been for the past 10 years. Good to know she overcame at last. Go and conquer gurl. You still have a lot to give at the age of 28. 5 Likes 5 Shares |

The Semenya case is controversial. On the one hand, fair play to her. She argued her case well, and the science backs her up. On the other hand, the fact that her body secretes more testosterone than the normal female (all females produce testosterone, just in very tiny amounts, men too secrete some estrogen)... may give her an advantage over her fellow competition, but then again, the science is not clear. 2 Likes |

Cuteamigo1: Exactly. The science does back her.. there is no conclusive proof that testosterone gives women an advantage. But recalling the East German doping scandals of the 70s and 80s, where they injected their athletes with all sorts of hormones including testosterone, and it did give them an advantage (they were smart about it, otherwise IAAF might have caught them).... it isn't fair too. Still. 2 Likes |

I Disagree With The Ruling.Her High Testosterone Level Gives Her An Undue Advantage Over Other Athletes She Competing Against.She Should Compete In The Long Distance Category.That Should Even Out The Competitiveness 2 Likes |

tactius:If it gives men advantage then surely higher level of it in a woman will give her some advantage. The major argument people make for her is that you can never establish fairness because people differ in one way or another. 2 Likes |

This is a good ruling |
Re: Caster Semenya Can Compete Again After Swiss Court Ruling by Nobody: 5:56pm On Jun 03, 2019 |
2sexycom: Phelps had the advantage of good research based training. Plus a specialty built swimming suit that nowadays has been banned. Semenya has a genetic condition that makes her secrete more testosterone than the average woman which might give her an advantage in racing. Testosterone helps the body consume energy better (one reason why men lose weight better than women).. and improves muscle better (again why men are stronger than women). Naturally there would be complaints about Semenya having an advantage. |

rentAcock: In Semenya's case, she has a genetic condition that makes her secrete more male hormones than the normal female. It's called hypernadrogenisim Different from 'sexual orientation'. |
