Brew News: Dude, Dude...Dude Looks Like a Laaydayy!

Giving Sheree Whitfield major competition the "Skrong Face Games", is South African, Caster Semenya. The 18 year old World Athletics Championship 800m Gold medalist has had to be tested to see if she, is indeed a he. Yowch.

"IAAF spokesman Nick Davies confirmed the tests were taking place, though he said the results would not be confirmed for several weeks.
Until the results are confirmed, there was nothing to prevent Semenya from competing in tonight's final, he said.
He added: 'At this moment in time we do not have any evidence to stop her running.' South African athletics chiefs furiously denied the claims and stated Semenya was definitely female. Molatelo Malehopo, general manager of Athletics South Africa, said: 'She is a female. We are completely sure about that and we wouldn't have entered her into the female competition if we had any doubts. 'We have not been absent-minded, we are very sure of her gender. We are aware of the claims that have been made but our aim at the moment is to prepare Caster for the race this evening.' Semenya was ordered to take the test after raising suspicion during an incredible performance at a junior championship.
The teenager, from Polokwane in South Africa's Limpopo province, burst onto the running scene at last month's African Junior Championship in Mauritius where she clocked 1:56.72 in the 800 metres.
The time was the best recorded in the world so far this year by more than a second.
Mr Davies revealed that Semenya's astoundingly quick performance prompted suspicions over her gender."
