		<description>Caster is an amazing athlete and I feel really sorry for her because of all the crap she has had to go through and still is going through with regards to here gender. 

I am very interested to see the final medical results but I don&#039;t think the way in which the media has dealt with this issue is fair on her at all...

But I suppose the media just wants to sell!</description>

		<description>&quot;So here’s to Caster Semenya, the First Lady of Sport in South Africa – as one newspaper rightfully put it.&quot;

Surreal! That someone would congratulate a person who claimed victory undeservingly and by trickery is beyond me.

South Africans are too much into navel-gazing to realise that there is a world outside with rules and regulations that - shock! - apply to South Africans too.</description>

The irrationally defensive reflexes by the ANC and the government show how prevalent racism and xenophoebia among the black-ruled hierarchy really is. Just as it is the case of the white South African in Canada who proved that he has been the victim of sustained and repeated racist attacks in South Africa. He proved that case in a country with a judiciary system that is the envy of the world and often lauded by the UN and other humanitarian organisations.

I find it peculiar that this blogsite ignores an issue that causes such furor throughout the South African society.</description>

		<description>I believe it was a blunder to drag the sports person into the limelight of doubt and embarrassment. Gender tests should be made obscured from the public, and best be conducted before the start of such high profile competitions as a world championship.

Unfortunately for the sports person now under the cloud of humiliating scrutiny, the masculine looks feed the doubting imagination of many. The tests are necessary now, I just wished it would have been done sooner and hidden from the media.</description>
