Caster takes gold

Good point... although Kratochvílová was said to be implicated in some sort of doping scandal. Alot of people say it she had a very unnatural physique and that her record wouldnt be beaten in 100 years. That said, Caster isnt faster than the previous 3 WR's...which is quite interesting... Either doping was rife back then, and now its not, or females are getting slower...

Caster's time is only the 20th fastest run in history by a woman..

That is my thing tbh...

Caster is the 11th faster 800m woman of all time so far.

Why must I define a woman?

If you recognise that there are broad biological differences between men and women, then you need to have some method of splitting them.

Come to think of it, the Ancient Greeks already had a solution to this seemingly modern problem: Allow only naked men to participate :D

I don't disagree, but I wasn't the one who made the claim that Caster was not a woman and should run in a special category... that was Paddy, so he needs to come up with the solution.

Ok so all this Caster mania is going to end, suddenly, for her. Let her take this gold medal, it will likely be her last because a change to the rules will happen.

Its a tough catch 22 situation but imo if you have hidden testicals, producing testosterone, you will have a major advantage over just about every other women out there. A natural, but albeit unfair advantage.

Either she will be banned from competing, or females will drop from the sport or start doping to bring themselves up to a similar level.

One way or another, Caster is going to lose out here.

The claim that she has testes is tabloid gutter journalism, never been confirmed. And there's no conclusive evidence that increased testosterone actually helps female athletes. For perspective, the other athlete with heightened testosterone barely made top 50.
 
The very fact that Caster is so far off from the historically fastest women/times makes it clear she has as much advantage as any other genetically gifted lady athlete, if she was smashing the wr left right and center then perhaps it would be easier to empathise with this sorry bunch of losers but she's not.
