Yeh I thought it was a bit of banter by Heineken then didn't see that as a referenc to Semenya.
Kind of like what's his name comment about Kenny looking to Trot asking what's for tea was taken completely out of context.

Gosh I missed it again.
Is it too late to get involved?

I agree with Heineken, if she is in a fact a Woman and it is just a genetic advantage, then why should she be penalized and have to take an equalizer like some hormone stabilizer?
This shouldn't even have to be argued
Combat sports and Athletics are just not even similar so the lightweight vs Heavyweight analogy is stupidly weak and I don't agree at all with it.
Should we just start bracketing all sports in height, weight and testosterone level groups and have 1 million different medals just to be PC, that would be a disgrace!

We live in a world where people seem to think being offended is some sort of badge of honour... It cheapens it when someone actually does something offensive. Race, gender and religion are all areas of hyper-sensitivity at the moment and it's ridiculous. If anything you could say those getting offended by that are the racists as the first thing that pops into their heads when they see it is a racist thought.

So don't be showing me no rip off.
BBC have a reasonable summary of the Semenya et al situation: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/37102204
I feel really sorry for her - especially some of the horrible aspersions being thrown about early on; but I do feel that she (and other hyperandrogenous females) have an unfair advantage.
BTW, the re-balancing hormones reduce her to 3 times that of 99% of her direct competitors. The current CAS decision is a holding action, not a firm one - the argument going that the testosterone levels grant no competitive advantage, and that there's no evidence either way (because there's been no research on hyperandrogenous female athletes - this research is now being done) on a test sample of 2; it's looking like the rebalancing drugs will need to be taken.

Well, either that, or WADA are going to be challenged if they continue to ban Testosterone on the basis of it being a PED.
Yes but is she a bloke? Adams apple big clitoris etc

Depends how much booze i have had
We have all been there
met her in a club down in North Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
See-O-L-A cola.
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance.
I asked her name and in a dark brown voice she said, "Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
