Even though I'm convinced she has a dangling pair hidden somewhere ... we have to give her praise for the wonderful win this morning.
At a mere 25, she decimated the field to take Gold.
Congratulations Castrate ... erhhhh ... Caster!!

 Well done to her. She has behaved with dignity throughout this undignified process. And what was she to do, run with the men?
She may have some strange body chemistry, but I'm willing to bet by the looks of them there are many others in this competition who also have elevated male markers. I'd check that tall Kenyan girl who ran fourth in the Semenya race for a start.

The Van Niekerk gold was real reason to celebrate. However the Caster issue is a matter for great shame on SA and on the authorities in buckling to SA pressure to allow "her' to compete.
Ex Daily Mail : Do women who have much higher levels of natural testosterone than normal have an advantage over other women in athletics, and if so, is it fair?

Semenya is believed to be one of a number of female athletes to compete at the Rio Olympics with very high testosterone — caused by a condition called hyperandrogenism. 

Semenya has no womb or ovaries - but, and because, of a chromosomal abnormality, she has internal testes. 

Her win on Saturday will continue to stoke the complex debate over whether women with much higher levels of testosterone than normal should be allowed to compete unchecked


ALL VERY UNFAIR ON NORMAL REAL WOMEN.
