Is it a woman, is it a man?

According to the BBC:-

Some incredible news breaking in Berlin - The IAAF has asked the South African athletics federation to conduct a gender verification test on 18-year-old 800m favourite Caster Semenya, due to run at 2035 BST, amid concerns she does not meet the requirements to compete as a woman. "It's a difficult scenario," reflects BBC commentator Steve Cram on BBC Two. "The IAAF cannot do anything unless one of the other competing nations lodges a protest."

I feel sorry for her. Was there any need for the IAAF to announce this publically in the middle of her attempt to win a gold medal? What if she really is a man and has been living for 18 years thinking she is a woman? It's not her fault. She would have been treated more discreetly if she were suspected of taking performance enhancing drugs. In those cases there is no public announcement if something is merely suspected. The IAAF only go public once the case against the athlete has been proved. Shame on them even if it turns out to be true.

Has to be a bloke the size of it. Its hands look way too big and it has far too much muscles and it looks like a man.

It? no matter what gender the person is, she/he is still a human being and does not really deserve to be refered to as "it".
 
There are cases, in less developed countries, where children born with genital deformities are 'fixed' because it is too shameful for the families. Obviously it is easier to create something resembling female genitalia than male.

It wouldn't surprise me if this was one of those cases.
