The Young, has a large muscular frame, and a somewhat deeper voice than the average female. This brought speculation, that she was actually a male.

It appears the truth about whether the 18-year-old South African sprinter is a man or a woman is none of our business.

The International Association of Athletics Federations has decided to allow Semenya to keep her 800-metre world championship title and prize money, but the results of gender tests will be kept confidential.

According to the South African sports ministry, “There will be no public announcement of what the panel of scientists has found. We urge all South Africans and other people to respect this professional ethical and moral way of doing things.”

Questions about Semenya’s gender were raised after the runner’s muscular build and rapid improvement in times prompted the IAFF to order testing.

The IAAF has yet to confirm these results, however, whoever has watched Semenya run knows that her body, not only her abilities, do not immediately resemble that of a woman’s. So the question is, when these results do become confirmed, what will become of Caster Semenya?

Will she be ousted by the athletic federation and prohibited from competing as a woman? Will she be allowed to compete as a woman after hormone treatment to reduce her testosterone levels and even surgery to remove her internal testicles?
