   Surprisingly or not surprisingly none of the female athletes came to Semenya defense. As a matter of fact one the 800m runner from Italy actually stated that Semenya was a man in her book. Yet a lot of women I know like to lament about men and their insensitivity towards women.

   The writer of this article is damn rude. He must be a roast breadfruit who hates himself and that is why he is trying to demean Usain. Bet him bleach him skin too.

   What a load of crap. Firstly, she was not clean as an unused whistle, her excessively high testosterone alluded to the fact that she should be gender tested. Secondly, she wasn’t subjected to gender testing merely for winning. The South African athletics federation knew there were gender questions before even sending her to the World Champs. This was public knowledge before this ridiculous misinformation above was published. Lastly the references to Bolt are disrespectful.
   The IAAF have handled the whole affair very delicately, but you can’t please everyone all of the time, and in this case it’s twits like the one that wrote this article.

   This is a dumb, stupid article. I just wasted a few minutes of my life reading this dumb Nigerian commentary.
   Semenya and her/his people knew what was going on but they entered her/him in the female race so that SA can claim gold.
   I’m not sorry that I can’t feel the same sympathy for her/him as I have for the women who have trained hard only to be cheated. Those are the ones I feel sorry for no one else.
   The IAAF (or whatever) should throw her/him out with the medal that she/he won and don’t worry about other peoples opinion inorder to save the integrity of the sport and the meets. Anything else and it will be devastating.
