Caster Semenya, 19, can now compete in races...as a woman! After it was determined that she is indeed a woman.
Semenya, who won the 800 meter race at the world championships, had her gender questioned, due to her deep voice, and improvement in speed and muscle.
Public reports had suggested that Semenya was a hermaphrodite - someone who holds both male and female sex organs. But it's been determined that she's after all a woman.
Semenya expressed her gratitude and excitement for being allowed to complete, claiming that: "I am thrilled to enter the global athletics arena once again and look forward to competing with all the disputes behind me"
