Male... or female?

I felt all along that Semenya had been doped with testosterone, or some precursor to it. Women have very low testosterone levels compared to men, and just a small amount can have major effects, exactly the effects we see in Semenya.
What's bothering me is that so many are speculating very rare genetic scenarios, when in all likelihood the answer is simple. We know athletes have doped in the past, even the great Marion Jones finally admitted to doping, so why should we be surprised if yet another athlete is doping?

Why are there no photos of a younger Semenya? I would love to see them.
