Caster Semenya

Great article from the BBC
m.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/32805695
Caster Semenya: you may remember the name.
Perhaps you also recall the chaos, confusion and controversy that descended on an athlete who just wanted to run.
It is difficult to link the engaging 24-year-old who has granted the BBC a rare interview with the haunted athlete whose gender was questioned in front of the world.
Six years have passed since she won the world 800m title with effortless, inevitable ease. Semenya's victory was as decisive as what followed was shocking.
