Caster tests show high levels of testosterone

Caster Semenya won the 800m event at the Berlin World Championships in August 2009 in a performance that impressed many. However, the display only served to raise suspicions further and the IAAF were called in to investigate allegations and rumours that Caster was actually a man. Within hours the South African authorities lept to her defence claiming that she had been allowed to compete in the past and also categorically stated that “she is a girl.”

The tests carried out on Caster revealed that she has 3 times the expected level of testosterone in her body. Analysis prior to the World Athletics Championships and the 18-year-old’s big improvement prompted calls for a gender test from the sport’s governing body.
