Fonzy the article you linked to says the same thing. She failed a gender test meaning she turned out not to be female.

Whenever I write old news, someone comments “old news’. And I hate them for it.
Old news.

p.s. I was wondering what the “Gender Test” actually entails.
Multiple Choice - you have 10 seconds to answer:
Q. Are you a) male, or b) female
A. Ummmm……. Berlin.
Sorry, wrong answer. Failed.

I kinda feel sorry for her, she still has two x chromosomes it’s just the hormone levels that are messed up ..

That’s kind of sad. I think if you’ve got the time, effort and courage of entering a game while claiming a different gender, you deserve the damn medal. Like the Saudi special olympics soccer team, (who were later discovered to be NOT RETARDED).

LOL coolfreak. Did the committee mistake simply “being Saudi” for “being retarded” I wonder…

reminds me of an episode from Futurama, where Bender participated in the Female bending olympics, and came up as a post-op, haha

If I’m lying I’m dying, I found an article in alarabiya. I remember holding it against my friend for the longest time until he almost crippled me.

7aram :( I feel sorry for her. That must be so humiliating

Don’t feel sorry for her. Don’t you wach South Park? In the episode called “Cartman’s Mom Is A Dirty Slut” her “intersex” status meant she was both father AND mother to cartman.

there is another later twist to this saga, but I don’t want to spoil it.
so in conclusion what I meant to say is - every cloud has a silver lining.

hahahaha…you guys crack me up. i loved the comment “simply being saudi” :P

Fuck the bastards. Feel sorry for the poor girl.. Its pretty well known that the tests are damn complex and yet they don’t determine with certainity the sex of a person. This’s jus a fuckin conspiracy and the real culprits responsible for this moment of disgrace need to be castigated. Its a case of genetic abnormality and not a physical abnormality. I don’t think the extra Y chromosomes would’ve given the poor girl any edge over her slutty competitors! The medal should be reinstated to this girl from a small Indian village.. God Bless Her..
