When Semenya's story broke in the wake of the 2008 IAAF championships in Berlin I thought about the similarities between what the early 19th century medical people of Baartman's day and our early 21st century medical people subjected young Caster to in the name of sport.

In Caster's case she had the additional drama of a 24 hour news cycle, the Net or instantaneous worldwide communication such as Twitter and Facebook to spread the rumors, innuendo and speculation surrounding the story.
