Personally, I do not think Semenya should be able to compete as a woman. I like the article's point that stated in 1996 when gender screening was done, 8 females tested similar to Semenya. However, I feel that these woman should have been disqualified. Any changes in hormones from conception can greatly alter a person's life and even if these hormones have been discontinued, they still influenced and affected the person.

Interesting blog..I guess that is what it is...So you disqualifiy them because...they have a unfair advantage or that they are not women?
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting John... I'm not sure if I agree with you or not. I'm assuming (purhaps wrongly) that there are other conditions that can cause a female's testorone levels to spike, which I assume you would argue gives them an advantage. We can only do so much testing :-)
