South African athlete Caster Semenya has learned that she will be entitled to retain her 800-metre gold medal regardless of the results of tests to ascertain whether she is really a man or a woman.

Semenya, who won the medal at the Berlin International Association of Athletics Federations (IAFF) World Championships, has also revealed her glamorous side in a makeover for a South African magazine.

"I enjoyed the shoot, wish I could do more, but I can't because I don't have time for them. I have training to prepare for the Commonwealth Games"

I'm so proud of her, cis or trans it sounds like she has her head on her shoulders. Another hero in my book.

If she keeps on posting times like that, she's have to find room for lots more photo shoots in her training schedule.

So, now that it's settled, and it's not going to be brought up again, what was all the fuss over?
