The South African, rackless 18-year-old Caster Semanya, after winning the 800m final at the world championship in Berlin was asked to prove her femaleness. This is her first world class race outside of Africa.
The IAAF has ordered a gender test. I'm not sure how often these gender tests are requested, but letting the order for this testing go public is apparently a big no-no.
How would you feel if you were asked to prove your gender in a laboratory?
