castor-semenya-looks-like-a-manWhen the question of doubt was first raised over runner Caster Semenya I, like every other male on the planet took one look at her and acknowledged that in bed she’d probably be spending most of her time on top.

Despite appearing to shrug off the calls for gender tests and verification, Caster has recently appeared in South African magazine ‘You’ under the headline ‘Wow, look at Caster now!’

Well I did look at Caster’s new photo shoot and to be honest I’m pretty sure it hasn’t done her any favours.

castor-semenya-ok-photoStrangely news.com.au have run with the headline “Caster Semenya proves she’s all woman”.

…I mean really? Are we look at the same photo here!?

I don’t know if it’s the Bunnings hardware style chain, the solid jaw, the hulking shoulders or those huge man hands but a black dress with some bling does not a woman make.

And geez, exactly how much light are they shining at her to completely change her body tone?

I mean seriously, look at her. I’m having major flashbacks to Miss Tiffany’s Universe in Thailand earlier this year.

Caster’s manly features should come as no surprise seeing as she was found to have three times the normal level of testosterone found in a the average female body.

Now obviously the ‘normal level’ isn’t set in concrete and variances will occur, but three times as much?

Even if she is some sort of genetic mutant then there’s the dubious fact that the head coach of the South African team is a Dr. Ekkart Arbeit.

Arbeit, who was named as a key figure in the East German doping machine in a German parliamentary inquiry headed by Professor Werner Franke, has admitted his involvement in the drug programme and has expressed his regret for the part he played in East Germany’s tainted successes of the 1970s and 1980s.


Now normally I’m a big fan of ‘if it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck then it probably is a duck’, but despite Caster’s herculean features and questionable coach I’m still willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Yes that’s carte blanche pardon even without seeing her ‘goods’. But please Caster, no more magazine shoots claiming how feminine and glamorous you are.

You look like a man end of story. Concentrate on your athletics and we’ll all agree to silently deal with your masculinity.

Deal?
