That absolutely made me laugh out loud...
I don't think the IAAF worries too much about "she's a man, baby!!"

I will take a shot at this one wrote:
no
South Africa had a world beater on their hands but she didn't produce any results to indicate it until just before the World Championships when it would be too late to stop her competing...
in ireland, paddy power the main bookies has payed out on a Jepkosgei win - she was 8 to 1 and i had a fiver on, nice one!
A few random thoughts...
The medal ceremony is going to be a mess.
With some half decent coaching, imagine what she could do in the Heptathlon.
If she wins the Hep in the next WC, will she take her victory lap with the other women?
Query, Is Semenya the first female athlete to literally run "balls to the wall?"
This is now one of the top stories on Yahoo news.
balls to the butt is more like it

This is a person who went from 7th place in HEATS of the World Junior Championship last year in 2:11, to winning the World Championships by something like 20 meters.
All this is ONE YEAR. Makes Bolt's progression look lazy. There is a word different from gender that may also apply here.
Nah. Going from 2:11 having not done much serious training to 1:55 in a year or so doesn't really indicate drugs, it indicates that it's an 18 year old guy who's knuckled down hard.
Is it me or does Semenya look like the young version of Theo Huxtable from the old Cosby show?
can somebody go and check Chanelle Price? I think she ran that time with little practice as well.
Maybe she s the same like Semenya
chanelle price
United States best 800m female junior
My point is that indeed 800m fast times come with a "price"
You cannot seriously be comparing Semenya to Price in terms of manliness, it is honestly laughable. Price has a female body structure, female facial structure and in interviews her voice is very feminine, if you see C. Price walking down the street nobody with a pair of working eyes is going to mistake her for a man. Semenya has no visible traces of feminity and her voice is as deep as most men her age, you could have an indepth conversation with Semenya face to face and the vast majority of people would take her for a man.
Indeed, Channel Price got the biggest knockers of any female athlete.
One of my runners here in Iowa says it's not just a man...it's Theo from The Cosby Show! I think he might be right. Here's a link to a picture of Malcolm Jamal Warner, the actor who played Theo Huxtable in this classic 80's sitcom:

Stupid western scientists. Don't they know that in Africa, anything less than 7 inches is considered to be a woman.
