Athletics governing body, the IAAF, has received the results of Caster Semenya's gender tests and is trying to get in contact with her, the Beeld newspaper reported on Thursday. 'ASA's actions can have serious consequences for Semenya' "ASA's actions can have serious consequences for Semenya if we don't get to speak to her soon. It comes down to her not wanting to co-operate."He said it was a "unique problem" and the IAAF had no rules on how to handle it. "It's important for us to discuss the results of the tests with her," he was quoted as saying. Semenya won gold in the 800m race at the world championships in Berlin last month. - Sapa

I wonder what the fuss all about with gender tests because all the officials still refer to her as a she.No one has ever refered to her as him to give a room of doubt.This is just a waste of time and gross assasination of character kulomntanabantu

I feel embarrased by this country's unwillingness to submit Caster to the IAAF. Why would they not want to? Clearly they have something to hide as does she. If there was no issue, then i am sure all of this would have been ofer in the blink of an eye. Another thing that is disturbing is the amount of people that are playing the "racist" card, come on people, use your brains here, just because she is black does not mean anything to anyone. If the win was taken by her fair and square, we will all be proud... race aside! it is people like you that bring this country down, just get over it now!

PLEASE stop playing the race card. This has happened to 'white' athletes too. If you want to play the game, you submit yourself to the rules. It would be construed as racist by white athletes if she was NOT tested for elevated testosterone on the basis of, uhhm, her colour.
Lance Armstrong has been tested fo doping 40 times this year. Is that a racist conspiracy?
Bolt is black, he is tested, no one moans.
Caster's winning margin needs an answer in anyone's books: improvement like that 'overnight' simply does not happen.

Oh Boo Freakin Hoo
Who cares why is this such a big deal? I for the life of me cannot understand why sport has become so much of an issue. Who cares what the rugby team does? Who cares what bafana does ? If your pride is hung up on these sports teams then you really dont put much on your pride now do you?
We are faced with so much poverty and unemployment and they seemingly dont generate so much publicity in the news its pathetic and sad and paints the picture of the twisted sick world we live in. Priorities just dont matter anymore.

I think the poor gal needs a break, the media has been on her case since she won the gold. If it was a white young lady that won the gold then there was not going to be gender test , now what she is african you want to do a gender check, then again when you check the vidoe clip she ran and made us proud, the gap that she left behind was history. Caster gal you made us proud.

I am worried that ASA is not allowing the IAAF to talk to Caster and explain the results of the gender test. If they continue to behave like this, they will be prolonging the saga around Caster's gender and causing more damage to the brilliant young girl

Those who despute racism in decision should know racism goes beyond colour,it goes beyond borders. Racist boards look at colour,look at your country and look at your personal background.Do you think if Semenya way Obama's daughter or even Mandela's daughter , was she going to encounter all these act of criminalism by IAAF,the answer is NO, and this is also the reason why she enjoy support of many african people not because of her outstanding perfomances but we see these acts as a challange to all south africans.
She was born a girl , not sex transplant WHY desputes.
U must understand attitude of racism beyond colour
