    Well they can ban her , and they cant withdraw her medal

    Quite what they do with her is beyond me .

    The SA government seem to be taking it very personally though , alsorts of talk of racism and sexism !!!!

    Not surprised by SA response , Anything they don't agree with will fall in those catagories .

    But I still think this is an unprecedent case very unique that has been handled insesitively ! Amarula while I understand which direction you thinking . Even if they did create a separate transexial event it would still alienate her .

    This is a person that capatilised on her abilities that found herselve in a international controversary . Her genetic disorder is quite rare , Those with that same disorder don't find them themselves ordinarily on the sports arena amongst an international confusion .

    I still maintain if the sporting arena wants to press this forward they have to apply the same principals for all those other athletes that are genetically advantaged . Weither it be by stamina . physic or mental advantage .
