Who can seriously defend Semenya and the other intersex ?

This sounds a bit tongue-in-cheek, but may actually be the most effective solution.

the only way to beat this is for a group of men's rights proponents to start a movement to get as many transgenders in womens sports in order to show that men are better than females. To rub it in. To completely try to demolish women's sports DELIBERATELY.

The feminists will revolt and it will go right back to the traditional way

But thanks for showing how retarded you are.

The CAS, IAAF and IOC are utterly pathetic but Caster is to blame as well. Just because she won't be held accountable by the governing bodies doesn't mean that she shouldn't be held accountable by us.

The male runner, Caster Semenya, is 100 percent responsible for his actions.

If this forum was a pub, you'd pop your head around the door think 'holy f***' and slowly back your way out again.

I ran 1:59 800m in HS and I wasn't even close to being as manly as Caster.

Does anyone actually know how much testosterone she has? All this talk and we don't have exact numbers. In the original report, it said something like "3 times the amount of a normal female" but never gave a specific amount. Looking a few years ago, I think I found a figure that would've been the same as a 90 year old man, but I can't find it anymore and it may very well be a made up figure based on the 3x statement.

I could be wrong, but I believe that the 3x statement refers to the fact that she was forced for a period of time to reduce her testosterone levels below 10 mmol/L, which is just over 3x the expected outer limit for 99% of females (around 3 mmol/L). Since Caster's running ability suffered hugely during the time that she was having her levels reduced, it's fair to assume that her natural levels are much higher than 10 mmol/L.

CAS reversed the previous IAAF(?) ruling that T could not be higher than 10. (Normal female range is 0.5 to 2.4. The 99th percentile is, I think from memory, 3.

Castor's time slowed to 2:04 when she was on T suppression drugs. And then dropped to 1:55 when CAS reversed the ruling. From this, we can infer that Caster's T level was significantly higher than 10 before taking T suppression drugs. The lower level for males is generally considered to be 20, but I think some experts cite 10 as the lower level.

If 20 is a lower level for males, then perhaps 30 is an average.

If Semenya stayed below 10, then he'd probably get slower and slower at 800m.
