Caster Semenya races at a small meeting in Montreuil, near Paris, France, June 11 2019. Picture: PHILIPPE WOJAZER/REUTERSDouble Olympic 800m champion Caster Semenya offered to show her vagina to athletics officials when she was 18-years-old to prove she was female, the SA middle-distance runner said in an interview with HBO’s Real Sports that aired on Tuesday.
Gender tests on Semenya reportedly showed the runner had no womb or ovaries but that she had internal testes, the male sexual organs which produce testosterone, and her levels of the hormone were three times that of a “normal” female. “It made me sick, made me gain weight, panic attacks, I don’t know if I was ever going to have a heart attack,” Semenya told HBO Real Sports. “It’s like stabbing yourself with a knife every day. But I had no choice.World Athletics lawyer Jonathan Taylor, speaking during the HBO Real Sports interview, disagreed with medical panels, including the World Medical Association, that condemned the sport’s governing body for requiring women with differences in sex development to take drugs to compete.
External “evidence” is unhelpful. It is the lack of female internal organs and the existence of male ones, albeit malformed which is the decisive factor. He is the victim of successive cover-ups and selfish administrators. A serious mental health problem exists.
