To determine whether the gold medal she earned is valid, the International Association of Athletics Federation ( IAAF ) is forcing South African runner Caster Semenya, 18, to undergo a series of "gender tests."

The test will include, at minimum, opinions from a gynecologist, a psychologist, an endocrinologist, an internal medicine specialist and-according to the New York Times-an "expert on gender."
