According to the New York Times, Gold medalist Caster Semenya, a track and field phenom from South Africa, is undergoing sex-determination testing to confirm her eligibility to race as a woman. The testing is being conducted by the International Association of Athletics Federations, the sport's governing body.

There is plenty of useless speculation and a few f----ed up quotations in the article from other athletes:
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
