After she was forced to take gender tests, champion sprinter Caster Semenya comes out as hermaphrodite. She is both a woman and a man, in fact she has no womb or ovaries and her testosterone levels are more than three times higher than those of a normal female.
The tests were ordered by the International Association of Athletics Federations after Semenya's 800-meter victory in the World Championships. According to Australia's Daily Telegraph Semenya could be stripped of the gold medal she won in Berlin last month and her competitive future is in limbo.
