South African Caster Semenya's gender controversy; Unsporting behaviour - Perspective

| The doubts over the world women's 800m champion Caster Semenya's gender extends a fraught August for two of the sports most associated with amateur idealism. As rugby deals with the allegation that coaches may have deliberately cut players to justify substitutions, is one of the world's quickest women also gaining an unfair advantage?
There is a long history of innuendo in athletics: several eastern European women in the lifting and throwing events came under scrutiny, and the late comedian Bernard Manning used to do a cruel routine suggesting that two leading British female Olympians might have, as it were, less clearance over the hurdles than other women in the running.
Those examples establish the polarities in this case. At least some shotputters from the former Soviet bloc clearly had been given chemical or surgical assistance in qualifying for the ladies' games. Manning's gags, though, were simple sexist prejudice, triggered by the failure of these great sportswomen to look sufficiently like Felicity Kendal.
The statement from the International Association of Athletics Federations cites "gossip" as one justification for the investigation. The IAAF also says that suspicion has arisen because of a very sudden recent improvement in the performer's times. This, though, makes little sense because it is hard to imagine how she could have rapidly become a man except in the very loose sense that this phrase is used to describe an adolescent growth spurt in the late teens. But the history of the Williams sisters in tennis also suggests that women can also suddenly gain in power and muscularity at around this age.

| The great advantage gained by the 18 year old South African Caster Semenya on Wednesday evening during the 800-meter run is raising concern over sexuality. A sex test is now required to provide enlightenment. Female athletes have muscles curves that are distinctly womanly. However, for South African Caster Semenya it is different: even at second glance her body and face appear to be male.
