Almost a year after South African runner Caster Semenya became an international headline, the IAAF has announced she will be allowed to compete once again.

Her participation was called into question by the IAAF, an international sport's governing body, who subjected Semenya to an array of "gender testing." This was not the first time a female athlete had been subjected to these tests--ranging from genital checks to chromosomal typing and hormone evaluations.
