The Caster Semenya photos are sought as questions about her gender continue. See pictures here and Caster Semenya video of the race, the interview and more about the South African runner who won the Women’s 800M at the IAAF World Track and Field Championships in Berlin and now faces controversy which may involve ambiguous genitalia.In the aftermath of the 18-year-old runner’s victory, the IAAF has asked the South African athletics federation to conduct a gender verification exam on Caster Semenya (photos above).
She won the race on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 with a time of 1:55.45 which is thus far the best time in the world in 2009. Winning second and third place respectively were Kenyan runner Janeth Jepkosgei (1:57.90) and Jennifer Meadows of Great Britain (1:57.93).
Results of the test, CNN reports, will take some time; perhaps weeks. The test involves a physical medical evaluation, along with reports from a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, an internal medicine specialist, and an expert on gender intended to resolve issues of ambiguous genitalia. In the interim, no doubt, speculation will mount as Caster Semenya photos are studied and commented upon.
