“Getting the Run Around”

South African running star Caster Semenya, who won the women’s 800-meter race at the world championship in Berlin Wednesday, is now undergoing tests to prove her gender. Officials became suspicious when Caster competed in the pole vault, empty-handed.

Even if Caster turns out to be male, Germany is known to have pretty relaxed standards when it comes to considering athletes female.

Caster may have been upset and embarrassed and upset by the request, and was seen wiping tears away from her cheeks and beard.

A gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, internal medicine specialist, and gender expert are being called on for an official gender evaluation. While most people are familiar with the other medical specialties, the gender expert can be better described as the official Bulge Checker.

Analysts say the reason for all the blood tests, chromosome checks, and complex interviews is that the international federation is just too shy to throw out a simple, “Drop your pants.”

Obviously a great athlete, Caster said she went out for women’s track and field because she didn’t want to play sports where they were any balls.

As evidence that Caster really is a woman, she loves cat calendars, Oprah, and Sandra Bullock movies.
