In the video, Leonard Chuene said his decision to not pull her from Berlin was done to protect Caster Semeny's privacy, and he called his decision not to tell the IAAF (and apparently Caster Semenya) "...an error of judgement."

In audio I heard of the news conference on NPR this afternoon (audio of which I can't seem to find on the web), when Mr. Chuene said he did what he did to protect Caster Semenya's privacy, not suprizingly the assembled reporters laughed. Frankly, hearing his answer for his motives for not informing the IAAF of the results of Caster Semenya's sex testing seemed as laughable as it sounds.
