Not sure how I feel about this, I can see the rationale behind it but what next, drugs to stop basketball players or full backs growing over 7ft tall as it's an advantage - discuss

'Casterate' Semenya seems to be a genuine person and is a great athlete but a woman she is not. It's reaching the point where other female athletes are thinking 'What's the point - it's like racing against a man?'
Sadly, I'd support Seb Coe on this one which is a first for me because Coe is to world athletics what Infantino is to world soccer.
Says 'she ' has been asked to undertake gender testing. I would insist!
What's the difference with this then, if she has a vagina (let's suppose for now) but simply has high testosterone levels, surely tha's an accident as well?
If she has two sets of genitalia and is hermaphrodite or inter*** as they like to call it these days, that's more complicated as the person is neither male nor female.
They're now throwing the race card in which I despise, that's a lazy argument.
Transgenderism, according to this article, is 140% higher in female sport than it is in the wider female population.

My own view is that a transgender athlete, one with two sets of genitalia rather than just high testosterone, should be made to choose a gender if they want to compete, I think that's only fair. Without some kind of action on this, what you have is equivalent to legal doping?
