[quote=Anonymous]She has 3 times the normal level of testosterone as other women. Testosterone is a banned and tested-for substance precisely because it enhances performance. No, it's not her fault she was born with internal testes, but it certainly is unfair to her competitors (the times don't tell the whole story - watch the race and she clearly looks like she wasn't giving it her all). Given that she has internal testicles, and was born without ovaries or a uterus, isn't she more genetically male than female? And regardless, shouldn't the testosterone level alone be disqualifying? FWIW, I don't think she should be designated 'male' for any reason of she identifies female. But there is a bright line in the olympics as to how much testosterone a female athlete may have and she far exceeds it. [/quote]
