Caster Semenya

[wutang]

Why is there a bloke running against the women in the 800 metres in the World Athletics Championships?

If that isn't a man you can call me Sheila.

She is not the only intersex athlete there are several other running other than Semenya - Burundi’s Francine Niyonsaba and Kenya’s Margaret Wambui (all 800m as their best distance) - it's not fair for the others since it was adjudged to take medication to reduce their testosterone levels was against their human rights.

It is not a level playing field and poor Laura Muir would have won a bronze the other night.

Athletics by default isnt a level playing field - you dont become a top level athlete without some kind of biological advantage.

Look at Michael Phelps - the guy is a freak, one perfectly designed to be a swimmer (which is why he has given up kicking the fuck out of us mere humans and is now racing against sharks)

Should we take all his medals of him?

Good article here on what a freak of nature Michael Phelps is

Take away his medals its not fair

I do feel sorry for Caster, and others like her. It must be very demoralising having every win questioned and people pointing fingers all the time. You'd need a cast iron will to be able to rise above it all.

Margaret Wambui is also supposedly 21...
this is Margaret at age 20

Look at that mob!!

That's the Saudi Arabia under 16 squad, who robbed the Scots lads victory in the final of the Under 16 World Cup Final.

One of them was sergeant in the army and he was also married with three children, it was disgusting they were allowed to get away with it.

Men running against men, but women running against women and intersex athletes.

Where do you draw the line?

At a world full of eunuchs of course ........ but by then it won't matter.

Can you believe that some people actually, seriously complained that they didn't put him in with a real great white shark, they said they felt cheated.

I mean how would it have gone? two wafts of a tail and a chomp, race over.

This thread isn't about Michael Phelps, it's about athletes with male testes(thus producing three times the testosterone) competing unfairly against women.

If you want to post about something else start another thread.

Sorry for going off topic Luds.

However i felt that photo of the old cheats in the Saudi Arabia football team, needed to be posted.

Thats a play on words joke, isn't it.

The women's 800 metres is turning out to be a complete disgrace with Semenya, Wambui and Niyonsaba being obviously not female.

It makes a complete mockery of the whole athletics championships.

Castor was jogging in the semi and she will jog the final as well when she could easily break the world record in my opinion.

It makes the 800m boring and so predictable.

So basically no different to any other elite athlete who dominates.

See: Usain Bolt & Mo Farah for recent examples

Do they have an extra pair of testcles and have three times the normal amount of testosterone in a male?
