Him or her??


This incredibly feminine athlete is Caster Semenya, the new 800m world champion. Outrageously Ms Semenya - a sexy 18 year old from South Africa - has been asked to take a gender test, according to athletics' governing body.
The IAAF says it demanded the test three weeks ago amid fears she should not be able to run as a woman.
Are the IAAF blind? I mean... do you need a test to tell you that the rather aptly named Semenya is a bloke?!?
According to the IAAF, "The gender verification test is an extremely complex procedure. The situation today is that we do not have any conclusive evidence that she should not be allowed to run" and "the extremely complex, difficult test results were not due for several weeks".
Ok, I'm no sex reassignment surgeon (thank God) but how can it take weeks to check if someone has still got blokeish appendages??
And - without beating around the bush - even if said bloke had his meat and two veg chopped off, surely it can't take weeks to check if her (new??) bits were made in her mama's womb or in an operating theatre??
