Whenever I want to know what's up with the still-festering Caster Semenya case, I go to a South African website called "The Science of Sport." TSOS gets through the media murk to what the issues really are. It's run by two South African scientist/athletes, Ross Tucker PhD. and Jonathan Dugas, PhD. Tucker is science advisor for Runner's World SA. Ordinarily they comment about things like diet and endurance and such. This is their one big political thread. But unlike all the IAAF and SA officials who are commenting, they don't have a vested interest in this fight.
