A world-champion South African runner will be tested amid concerns she may not qualify as female. I wonder which test result will look better for the sport?

Track and field has become a punchline due to all the drugs. Can it sink any lower?

I've seen pictures of this woman and I can't tell what gender she is.

she does look ambiguous. but, if she is biologically female, could she be disqualified for mentally being something else? Could any one be disqualified for mentally thinking they're a man but in a womens body in track and field?

I hope that she is true to her gender and not another of those projects by self centered people that only want the fame and winning at all cost even at the cost of a human life.

How many athletes die young because of what they took for the brief moment of fame. You would think that since they are athletes they would be in shape and live longer then the average joe but to many die young and all of it for the glory of money.
