When the Olympics took place in Berlin Germany one of the races had more controversy than the rest. When Caster Semenya won the gold medal in the 800 meter women's race there was much talk as to if she was actually femal or not. Many people attributed her deep voice and "facial hair" as reasons why she should be tested to in fact assure if she was female or not.
I thought that this had to be extremely humiliating for her to have to go through, especially with it being a nation wide debate. I believe that it should have been discussed more privately before have tons of rumors spread. I understand why in this case it would be significant as to what her gender really is, but should have been handeled in a more professional manor.
