Caster Semenya, the 18-year-old sprinter who made international headlines recently when she dominated at the World Championships, was forced to take a test to determine if she was a man or a woman. According to the Daily Mail, those results are in, and Caster Semenya is both a man and a woman.

“… has no womb or ovaries and her testosterone levels are more than three times higher than those of a normal female … According to a source with knowledge of the IAAF tests, Semenya has internal testes - the male sexual organs that produce testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone responsible for building muscles and for producing body hair and a deep voice.”

And we thought the revelation of Rick Pitino’s fling in a restaurant was the sports story of the summer. To be fair, Semenya’s results printed in the Daily Mail have yet to be confirmed, and the paper is known as a Fleet Street tabloid that embraces rumor and innuendo.
