Leave Caster Alone

Caster is, by many accounts, has a DSD. This DSD likely provides Caster with a significant advantage over competitors who are fully biological females.

4/10 though for picking a hot button issue to troll about instead of some "weird coach" story.

NO. Caster should leave the women trying to compete with other women alone. We DO make the rules, because we are the fans, and if we don't like something, we need to SPEAK UP about it or else it will continue to be rammed down our throats like Barack Obama did with his tyrannical executive order.

If we want to be PC we would go troll on ESPN or CNN. On the wrong message board my friend. We're mostly skinny runners who's only enjoyment is are daily run and the occasional victory against some hobby jogger. Fear and Loathing for what the world is turning into where women aren't women any more and men are turning into metrosexual wussies.

We support are beloved President Trump and are most beautiful First Lady Melania.

Raquel Welch = Real Woman

Caster = Not Even Close

But, she's not an XX chromosome athlete.

Once again, this isn't personal to Semenya. It's the IAAF terrible policy that effectively ends XX athletics.

Don't blame iaaf entirely. They want, and have tried, to exclude Caster absent a treatment for the high T. Blame CAS.

Caster???

I hardly know her!

"her"

Internal testes

Ask a medical doctor if Caster is a male or female. The above line answers the question.

So she has an unfair advantage, big deal.

I'm with you, the hell with it, so what.

Seriously. It's time to stop these vicious attacks and ill-spirited comments regarding Caster Semenya.

It is certainly permissible to disagree with the premises of her racing for whatever tangible reasons you may have

BUT

to call her a man or to outright suggest that she is a man does nothing but make people on this site, and therefore runners and running fans in general, appear to be insecure trolls.

We are not the committee.

We are not the IAAF.

We do not make the rules.

You are just social media peons. That is all. No, you are not effecting change on society.

Therefore, just stop it with Semenya. She is an athlete. Just ... like ... any ... other ...athlete.

Don't you have statues to tear down?

Then that is an issue to take up with the IAAF. Or the IOC. Or the South African federation, or any testing agency who is a part in all this.

Notice that I did not say to leave the issue alone. However, that is for agencies to debate.

Caster spent her time out being tested and she was cleared.

Say what you will with the policy but

Leave -Caster- alone

Please hug me.....

You know, dude, Mr King, I had the highest respect for you as your running abilities proved you as a great miler.However, since you are a student athlete, I have a project for you and your athletic colleagues.Study her hip width, hip shape based on the pelvic girdle shift, follow-through,leg position and stride.After you do this, study Rudisha'sIt should become obvious to you why her time would be ultimately closer to 1:55 as a max, rather than 1:41.In fact, compare her to savinova. The real difference there is that savinova looked more graceful because her footfall was more toward the front than semenya's.Observe the strides of the two. Not much different.As she was cleared to compete despite the internal testes as is claimed, there is nothing mechanically to show masculinity or advantage.

No. No.You do not get that luxury of being a finalizer and calling troll just because you say so.I do not know you from Adam and you're no more important than anyone else here no matter how long you have posted here or who your friends are.No. You are not entitled to make that call.No agency has declared her in finality and perpetuity to be considered male.It's a no, whoever you are.

Nice kick of the hornets nest. We all know its a dude and a hot button topic so we can all just move along.

Nice one though!

What is a DSD? D*** size disorder?

If we're not affecting anything, why are you so scared of our words?

Thank you for this, I haven't seen something so beautiful on letsrun in a long time.

Disorder of sex development (or differentiation).

Scared?No, see, scared is not the proper emotion.It is more like disgusted.Many of you here make ridiculous judgments using the foulest, most uncouth language to display it.You overestimate your worth because your internet friends love conflict as play,and you feel like a big cheese in front of them.You know the facts, yet you eschew them for fake fun.Your words, if anything, empower me to fight harder against you and your friends, as it makes it clearer why I am fighting.It takes a lot more than you and your friends practically lying about semenya to scare me. It takes a lot more than the whoe forum.You are just not that important, kid.

We will leave him alone when he stops stealing money and medals from real women athletes.
