Dan, do some research! Athletics’ categories are male & female. There are no defined “genetic advantage” categories. IAAF have acted to preserve the female category and fair female competition. They deserve credit since most other sports federations have been afraid to thus far.

Caster is female Paula or do you disagree ? She has an advantage which is natural or are you accusing her ?

She could tell you but you'd gain some sort of advantage from that answer which would be unfair.

And advocating taking drugs to be able to compete, which Semenya will now have to do.

No. To compete in specific areas they need to comply with rules but free to compete in other events, male category or non elite competition.

Worth noting that the "specific areas" chosen are based on what appears to be pseudoscientific nonsense and that any benefit from endogenous testosterone has yet to be demonstrated

She has a natural advantage that is clear and Paula accepts she is a woman so unless you ban Caster from all events then justvto ban from 800m is nonsense ... I am also sure 100% she is the only clean athlete to compete
