Funny how so many complaining about Semenya's "maleness" don't seem to give a crap about drugged-up scum like Dibaba.
What rock have you been living under?
People complain about her and her training group all the time.

What an idiot you are.
She is a person who was born with female looking external gentalia, brought up as a girl by her accepting family, feels she is female and wants to be a female.
Really, who are you to decide whether Caster is reffered to as a girl or a boy? This has nothing to do with athletics whatsoever.

I read it fine.
If Caster genuinely self identifies as a female, I have zero issues with referring to her as a she. It's no skin off my nose.
That's completely aside as to whether I believe she should be competing in women's events, which I don't personally.
Is it stupid Sunday or something?

Have you watched her mannerisms for even a few minutes when not running? "She" is laughing inside at everybody that "she" is getting away with all of this.

Ridiculous. YOU are not the divine determiner of what behaviours constitute female behaviour. Don't judge people from your limited viewpoint of the world.

I was brought up as a great emperor by my accepting family. I feel that I'm a great emperor and I want to be a great emperor. Really, who are you to decide whether I am reffered (sic) to as a troll or a great emperor.

Well that is a logical fallacy.
If you wanted your gender to be referred to as 'The Great Emperor' then fine. Who gives a sh*t? Doesn't affect me.
Actually yes it does have everything to do with athletics and very little to do with someones decision to live as one or the other. A few comments aside, there will always be something a person is ineligible to do. They can live how they want to live. But in this case I'm sorry but for professional sports there is WAY too much of an advantage when you were born with male parts and are not biologically a full woman. Which is what the original decision was meant to help atleast balance with "if you want to compete professionally for money you must adhere to these rules". But that was too much for poor victimized Caster. Caster can go and do all kinds of things but this is not it and Caster knows it. This is an abomination worse than the drug catastrophe because in this case they knew what to do to curb it and still found a way to f u c k it up. Caster can go coean up some local 5k but boycotts need to happen now and squash this before this and the drugs makes this whole practice irrelevant
I could run those times and i'm a dude just like Caster is.
Good article with quotes from Ross Tucker and CS.
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/apr/17/caster-semenya-comeback-rio-olympics-gold
" Meanwhile Semenya’s gaze is firmly focused on better times ahead. “I am a dreamer,†she says. “And what I dream of is to become Olympic champion, world champion, world record holder.†"

No, it doesn't. Who cares what gender she identifies as? She isn't allowed to compete as a female because she identifies as female, that makes no difference. So if she wants to be a 'she' then it has no effect on anyone except butthurt LR posters.
Caster Semenya is a better 400m runner than Allyson Felix at the moment.
She is also at the moment only three seconds shy of the Olympic 1500 metre standard.
Just give that a few moments to sink in.

That is a scary prospect, but really the women's 1500m standard is weak. The event is weak really. Dibaba has shown what is possible for women.
If you compare the world records then Semenya's 4:10.9 is comparable to a ~ 3:45 for a male.
Semenya will dominate the 800 for sure this year, I think Felix will be too much for her though. And Dibaba is another level.

Yeah, who gives a sh*t about reality. Doesn't affect me. As long as I get all the benefits that come with being a great emperor, I'm fine. Now, give back to Caesar what belongs to him.

And if you compare her 4:10.9 run after a 400 and 800, all within a short space of time, what is it then comparable to?

Semenya is just getting going, think of the improvement a high school sophmore boy is capable of and then apply that to him for this year, Felix doesn't have a chance, double gold in the 400/800 is almost certain, and without a rabbit in the 1500m (s)he would probably win a tactital sprint finish in that as well. Remember Dibaba and him are on different normal distrabutions, Dibaba is an outlier who pushed the edge of what is humanly possible, for Semenya the equivalent is to get into the top 75 or so of USA high school boys for this year. Not really pushing the limits at all.
According to the gaurdian article (s)he completed the triple effortlessly without being pushed at all.
