Congrats! Caster Semenya ran 1:21.77 to break 600 m WR held by 1:22.63 Ana Guevara (Mexico) set in 1997

Ajee fastest XX woman ever: 1:22.39. First time beating Niyonsaba.

This is something that has bothered me for some time. Semenya gets killed on a site like this, yet Mutola, Quirot and Guevara were 800 runners who were very masculine. Leave Caster alone or focus on the sprinters and jumpers as well as far as calling for testing.

Yes, they looked very masculine but were 100% women. Semenya, I believe was confirmed to have a Y chromosome, allowing her to produce five time more testosterone than any of those women.

Someone here likes dudes.

Please come out of the closet sir!

Surely, this confirms that the 400/800 double was what she should have attempted in London rather than the 800/1500?

what about people like daphne schippers who is also a man

Why stop at doubles? Could obviously have cleaned out 400, 800 & 1,500 no problem...

ana quirot still looked like a woman,but mutola,and guevara didnt.im pretty sure both their genders were questioned many times.they either had to be taking huge doses of testosterone,and nandrolone,over a long period of time.or they were born intersex.

Maybe next time, IF CAS/IAAF would decide next year to reinstate a testo limit for women's races starting in 2020 (fat chance!). Then she would have no reason to hold back anymore...

What's the physical difference between Semenya and Ajee Wilson? Looks like they are on the same level (and I understand Wilson got busted for doping) and Wilson beat Nyonsabo which most of you think is a male. Which is it?

Early photos of Ana Guevara looked very feminine and womanly (with breasts too which caster does not have.)

However later years, she was huge and ripped. Likely a huge blatant doper.

Are you saying you see no physical difference between Ajee' Wilson and Caster Semenya? If you were talking about body types well then obviously you're a troll. And as far as times, Ajee' took YEARS to get to this point. She was very talented at a young age. Caster Semenya was literally picked up at the local track and within a year or 2 was running a 4:08 1500 and 1:55!! This was back in 2009 I might add

Are you saying you see no physical difference between Dafne & Felix? Rudisha & Amos? No difference between Kiprop & Centro? Bolt & Coleman?

I do see one. The poster asked and then seemed to imply that there isn't one. Also every middle distance runner you just said is slim. Caster has the physique of Gatlin and is medaling in the 1500

Ajee Wilson in second also broke the record.

It's more like 30 times as much testosterone.
