Caster Semenya killed them!

[bhangie]

So where does she belong? she cant compete with woman because she is to masculine and manly , she cant compete with man cause they would kill her on the track she is a woman after all. what now? all her dreams gone? go back to polokwane and start selling fruit on the streets.

The Clue is in the name Caster Semenya. Sheesh please say I wasn't the first to notice?

you must feel like a real man now, after picking on an 18 year old girl on the interwebz. you do know that she has friends and family that may read the nonsense that you write here, right?

Oh I feel awesome, it was a joke, and frankly I couldn't give two ****ing hoots whether her family reads here or not. I'm not the one accusing her of being a lady boy so calm the eff down.

Sheesh get a grip. I bet you feel all brave and warm and fuzzy inside defending said girl on the net anon.

Frankly if I actually felt any worry at all about what I posted on the net it would be about the stuff I post towards the ANC and their supporters.

It might be that im just drunk but Lance QFT.

You definitely are drunk! Stop drinking immediately! ha ha

True words spoken by her father :

"For the first time South Africans have someone to be proud of and detractors are already shouting wolf. It is unfair. I wish they would leave my daughter alone."

 

[RetroBok]

I'm sorry but if you want yuor daughter left alone maybe you should question her ambition to be a sports star, this is 2009 where sports stars get as much media exposure as film actors (well sort of anyway). I appreciate she has this talent but still...It's like celebs who moan because they are always in the public eye...

Secondly South Africans have had lots of people to be proud of, she aint the bloody first.

I don't follow athletics at all but just out of curiosity regarding this controversy- I just had a look at a few pics of this athlete. No way! lol that is no female!
If this person passes the gender tests I'll be the first to apologise, but geez that don't look like any female I've ever seen.

Retro, catch a wake up! This is nothing like being a celeb or a normal sports star! What female celeb or sports star have you read about that was accused of being a man?

I was refering to her fathers comments about wishing people would leave her alone. If she looked like a chick she'd still get as much coverage albeit more "positive". She's an up and coming sports star, same as Lewis Hamilton etc, they get into the sport firstly for their talent (although in Hamiltons case maybe not ) and then for the money with that talent/money they get fame, fame brings celebrity, celebrity brings the media. If you don't want attention on yourself don't get into the sport. Simple.

In this case her gender has been questioned. The IAAF has every right to do so since they have rules and regulations about men running in ladies races etc.

Or are you proposing the rules don't apply here because she's black and Saffa? Of course the race card has already been raised to squeeze out he very last drop of white guilt from people in the hope she doesn't get tested.

I hope she's a chick I really do, but I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't.

PS: Google is your friend and as has been mentioned in a few threads on this very forum, there have been a few cases of athletes being accused of being men, even Mike Tyson

 

[Sting]

Why does she need to feminine-up a bit?

:erm::erm::erm:
So that she can look like Lady GaGa?

[sand_man]

well done!

we got a gold and she absolutely raped them by 50+ metres!

YES HE DID

 

[LancelotSA]

Out of interest, why the hell does it take weeks to get a result from these gender tests? Surely a blood test, or whatever, can be run as a matter of urgency? Too lazy to google!

 

[waynegohl]

is there any info in this thread or any of the others on where she was before this happened, i mean where else was she competing?

She is only 18 so she has been involved in junior championships.

Shame. I do feel for her. But she does look like a dude...

She matriculated at KES didn't she?

All these quotes about testing being common place quite conveniently fail to show this, which just so happens to be from the same article quoted by some members :

Sex testing has been done as recently as the Atlanta Olympic games in 1996, but is no longer practised, having been officially stopped by the International Olympic Committee in 1999. This followed a resolution passed at the 1996 International Olympic Committee (IOC) World Conference on Women and Health "to discontinue the current process of gender verification during the Olympic Games." [4]

New rules permit transsexual athletes to compete in the Olympics after having completed sex reassignment surgery, being legally recognized as a member of the target sex, and having undergone two years of hormonal therapy (unless they changed gender before puberty). [5] These controversies continue with the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing. [6]

The International Association of Athletics Federations ceased gender screening for all athletes in 1992, [7] but retains the option of assessing the gender of a participant should suspicions arise. This was invoked for the first time in August 2009 with the mandated testing of South African athlete Caster Semenya. [8]

So it appears testing was last done in 1996! And now it has been pulled out of the woodwork for Caster! F-ing Aussies.

Further to that I can't understand what the big deal is if transexuals are allowed to compete in the Olympics! If she has a guava then she can compete.

She matriculated at KES didn't she?

no idea

 

[LancelotSA]

Read this article..... it should never have been allowed to get this far.It is almost as if the IAAF hoped she would not do well and it would all just disappear. She competed in the Junior World Champs last year. Why was nothing said then, or a test done? The IAAF fsked up! And the media are being their usual ******* selves in smelling blood/money and thinking nothing of the person.

As for the Australians, they have yet again proved that they are the *******s I always felt they were. How is this wonderfully sensitive headline :

Davies asked the media to handle to story sensitively and delicately, but the Brisbane Times website was already running with the headline "Gender Bender on IAAF Agenda".

I like this person's comments :

Jesee Itotian felt the case raises some large questions: “How should society define a woman? It seems that having female genitalia is no longer enough. Should we test every woman and man to a subjective test to see that their body fits into a set criteria? Should Bolt be tested to see that he is not producing too many hormones? Should we have special games for men and women who don't fit into the category that we define? When a child is born, should doctors test them first and then classify them into boy, girl and unknown gender or half boy or half girl?”

thanks Lance.

 

[waynegohl]

thats what i was wondering about. if she has been running since 2008 then howcome we only hear about this now?

if she won gold in 2008 how come we never heard of it and where were the arguments about her gender then?
