Gender Confused

By RYAN LUCAS.Associated Press Writer – Wed Aug 19, BERLIN
1.South Africa's track and field federation had been asked to conduct a gender test on an 800-meter runner amid concerns she does not meet the requirements to compete as a woman.
2.Eighteen-year-old Caster Semenya is a favourite in Wednesday's 800 final at the world championships.
3.The world track and field federation requested the gender test about three weeks ago, after Semenya burst onto the scene by improving her personal bests in the 800 and 1,500 by huge margins.
4.IAAF spokesman Nick Davies said the "extremely complex, difficult" test has been started but that the results were not expected for weeks.
5.Semenya qualified for Wednesday's final with a top time of 1 minute, 58.64 seconds. She posted the world's best time this year of 1:56.72 three weeks ago at the African junior championships in Bambous, Mauritius.
4.Davies stressed that "it's a medical issue, not an issue of cheating."
5.The verification requires a physical medical evaluation, and includes reports from a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, an internal medicine specialist and an expert on gender.


COMMENT FROM CORETAN SEORANG TABIB..

1.Medical is all about. In my opinion a lot of things related to medical. As me as one of a medical people, in sports there is also related medical issue.
2.The confusion gender arised after South African runner win in 800m final in Berlin World Championship. World track and federation requested to be done gender test to this poor 18 year old South African runner in view of huge differences in her body built and her performance. So, they want to assure that if the runner is whether truely female or otherwise.
3.Some of drugs and hormone can be used illegally to make changes of human body.For example, a body builder used steroids and testosterone to enhance his performances.
4.Genetically, rarely human also can be having "both gender" .What i mean that, a person also can have XXX or XXY whereas a normal male and female only have either XX or XY. For the person who have abnormal gene, they might have both female and male appearance.
5.God's creature is very unique. To be closed to Allah is to learn from its creatures and Al-Mighty Allah only can create everythings.
