But I think the competition is gender divided because of that very difference though.. it's not a social distinction. It is specifically because our testicles allow us to achieve muscle growth that would prevent any woman from winning in a sporting event that relies on muscular exertion. It's segregation based purely on biological differences.
If a woman on the team artificially injected herself with 3 times the testosterone that a woman naturally produces, she would be rightly banned for cheating - that is giving herself an unfair advantage over other women. In this case Semenya was an unfortunate victim - she had no intention of cheating, but the fact remains that her advantage was just as unfair as that of the woman who artificially injects herself with testosterone.
I do feel sorry for her, but they have to draw the line somewhere... either that or give up the gender discrimination altogether and allow women to compete in the same events as men (good luck to them trying to win any athletics medals).
edit: having said that though.. Apparently a man would normally have 50 times more testosterone than a woman so perhaps there is scope for argument. Though I reckon if they allowed this then the whole Chinese women's side would be all hermaphrodites in a few years lol.
