Caster Semenya takes gender rule challenge to sports courtOlympic 800 metres champion Caster Semenya of South Africa goes to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Monday to challenge proposed rules that would force her to lower her testosterone levels. Nothing wrong with unfair advantage then I guess. She probably has a higher testosterone level than most men. But sure let her compete with people who never had DSD allow them to get muscular and allow them to grow a moustache and have a deep voice. HandsOffCaster Caster Semenya's problem is not her testosterone levels, it is her chromosomes. Women have XX chromosomes, men have XY chromosomes. The very presence of a Y chromosome in your make-up, whether XY or XXY or XYY implies that you are male and must participate in the male category.
