The most interesting part of this miss-handled mess is the support of the BBC athletics commentators who have been universally sympathetic to Semenya's situation.

The other curiosity is the statement by the IOC official who said that this came up because of the rapid improvement in her times. Um I'm confused is she supposed to be becoming a 'man'? Surely if she were a 'man' then her performances would have been consistent?

Lastly the thorny issue of definitions - what are the definitions here? Is it chromosomal, gonadal, psychological or hormonal or some (moveable) combination?
