"An Indian runner who won a silver medal in the women's 800 meters in the Asian Games this month has failed a gender test and is expected to be stripped of the medal."
"The test reports sent to the Indian Olympic Association on Sunday said Soudarajan "does not possess the sexual characteristics of a woman," The Times of India reported. The test was administered by a medical commission set up by the games' organizers."
I have to say this is an interesting story if a man could acutally look enough like a woman to trick officals into letting "him" run in woman races. Obviosly, he should be stripped of his medals.
