IAAF asks South Africa for gender test on Semenya

[Manu]

Doping case or not... she had an unfair advantage and if they're not going to disqualify her, how can they bar her from future meets unless she takes corrective hormones? Isn't that a loophole of hypocrisy? What about the other athletes who were denied places in the finals...and worse on the podium? She's a man with a ******l canal competing as a woman. That is very unfair!

Not everyone in this world is Male or Female. What makes a person male or female can produce a mixture quite easily. Please try to watch the film I mentioned earlier to understand why this happens.

...Anyway that’s my little rant. Y’all can continue your mockery and laughter at this poor girl’s expense.

So given the information coming you you still believe that Semenya is a girl?

I wasn’t the one going around telling people that I’m a Christian...

I have no problem demonstrating I am a Christian.

but yet openly laugh and mock other people because of their illness,

How did you get all that based on three letters? You are pretty good. The Bible mentions that God looks at the heart and not the outward appearance. You my friend have a rare gift of seeing not just past the outward appearance, but behind the letters of a message over the internet. Amazing! I pray you continue to develop this gift. Keep it up.

I hope you focus on that central point and not some irrelevant crap about I’ve not demonstrated Christ like attributes,

Thanks for your concern for my life and my Christian walk. A lot of people, even some Christians, care for themselves and don't demonstrate Christs love towards others. Keep it up mead.

Although, it was sad to see when I told you to keep up the good work about demonstrating Christ like attitude towards the situation (I mean you do seem pretty knowledgeable about how a Christian is to live), you mention that it is crap. Do you not likewise want to receive advise on your own life?

then sneaking in and editing your post later lol.

I didn't sneak. I came back to my computer during the morning and edited it. I figured more than likely, all you're going to be doing is arguing arguing arguing and I thought what I typed might just have infuriated you even more. Sorry to have let you thought I was sneaking.

Mead, instead of going back and forth with me on what I might have meant behind my 'lol', why not offer up a prayer to the Most High (or to the God you serve) for Semanya as she goes through this ordeal? And to also pray that people would be more sensitive to her situation?

If you are comfortable with it, you could even share your prayer here with us. Because I believe you raised a good point and that people might be a little insensitive to the whole thing.

Bless.

lol manu well it's not like she took a pill the other day, knowing well enough that she is cheating and then come to race. She was born like this. You want them to ban her because she was born with an unfair advantage? Couldn't the same thing be said about Bolt? Di man just bawn tall, and isn't his tallness contributing to his greatness? Want them to ban him for being born tall?

This is a first in the history of track and field I believe. (someone correct me if I am wrong) so there is no clear cut decision on what to do. Read they giving the 2nd place girl a gold as well.

Poor girl. I am embarrassed for her because she didn't even knew she was born that way. I read her male organs are more internally...what to do.

One thing I can say that they really put her on blast and it was uncalled for. They should have kept all this news a bit secretively.

IMO, they should let her keep the gold and set regulations for future races for 2 sex people.

[ramesh]

Unfortunately, I heard she is on suicide watch. It would be a shame if all this publicity led to anything tragic.

Thank God a just the watch...if a did me mi dead long time. Not just cause a de publicity but to know that I am bith sexes...geesam.

Kinda sad a ways still that the world knows you were a hermaphrodite before you. And she's African at that. The abuse over there is brutal. She may even be sexually targeted because she can't get pregnant.
