Semenya 'broke'

[semiautomatix]

Pretoria – Caster Semenya, the women's 800m world champion, didn't even have the money to visit her mother in Limpopo as Athletics South Africa (ASA) had not yet paid its contracted athletes.

And they want to give her a house? My word, all talk and no action, as per usual, I'm sure.

what about the R80k, i think, that the carpenter gave her

If memory serves me they also gave her R60 000, where the **** has that gone? Or did it not exist in the first place?

Seems suspect... maybe she's holding out for more - or just pissed off! (Probably wouldn't blame her, considering she hasn't been paid).

What? What? What did she break?!?!?

Yes and the rest of the countries athletes are broke as well the only ones that are doing well are the RSC and Rijk because of endorsements... Casta enjoy the life of an south African athlete and feel the burn if you decide to leave.

Seriously though - these people are well oiled machines. They need specific food and training regimes that replace work. That is expensive and without money they are not going to be tops. ASA is shooting itself in the foot. No wonder so many people go abroad. They are actually appreciated.

Maybe he spends money faster than she can run. It should probably learn to save some of his money in her bank account.
