You decide.

As an aside, as mildly amusing as the story is, the IAAF have hardly covered themselves in glory treating an 18 year old girl like that.
She has to prove she's a woman? Not difficult, is it?
And when did Fatima Whitbread have to go through this?

Besides, this one's gonna carry on. She's just won the 800m by about 700m. Britain's Jenny Meadows comes from nowhere to clinch the bronze on the line. Very close to silver.
Seemingly harder than we might imagine... It's to do with cellular structure, i gather, rather than genitalia...

or is that bollocks? :wink:

According to one report, a "physical exam" is to take place. Whatever that entails, I mean, how demeaning is that, just to prove your gender?

She's won a medal, anyway. Mandatory drugs test. That means she needs to pee in a bottle. Just leave the curtain out this time (open goal....). Job done.

That or he's a genuinely amazing athlete. Let's not tar them all with the same brush.

From what Denise Lewis said on the TV the other day, Kelly Holmes also had to go through these test and she looks like a woman (Just one with muscles).
