FIRST POSTED SEPTEMBER 14, 2009
The 800m women's world champion Caster Semenya has gone into hiding in her native South Africa and is said to be receiving psychological counselling. This follows the widely reported claims that tests organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) prove that she is in fact a hermaphrodite.
The 18-year-old had been lined up to appear in a 4km cross-country race in Pretoria on Saturday, but the teenager withdrew from the event as a result of the stress and trauma she is suffering.
