Eightlaners respond to the crucial issue to dog the running world this week:
THE RETURN OF SEMENYA
Lookatherballs
Shes so obviously a bloke. Look at how she runs; cum on iaaf lets get this freek banned for life
Interested
What exactly does the test involve? I remember reading about it in an academic journal once, but I don’t think the IAAF have been exactly transparent on this
Fv4.
It is a complex and very interesting process. Physiologically, there can be no dispute that Caster is probably female. That is to say that the IAAF will have engaged in extensive tests to ensure that she is eligible to compete as such. The question is what does SHE see herself as. That would have fascinating psychological implications for the sporting world at large.

What more evidence do you need. SHE’S A GUY FOR SURE. She has a deep voice and runs better than everyone else.
We love simpson
It’s the girls that have to race her I feel sorry for. Imagine having to look at that just before you start.
Get a grip
I think you should all get a grip and go and do sum trainin

It’s a common problem in African villages. Caster has clearly been offered enough money to feed her family for a lifetime just to keep quiet. She probably gets a testosterone injection once a week and providing she gets the right dose, the authorities will never know.
BNP Lover
Spot on ‘Cheatcheatcheat’, I am fed up wit them africaans coming and rewining are sport. When are the wimps at wada gonna get on top of this????????????????????????????????? BAN AFRICANS FOR LIFE
GBATHLETICSRULES
I think they should gender test all athletes who beat Semenya
Balls
Surely there is a very simple test that can be done: LOOK AT HER BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RunnersLife
Really interesting interview on Runnerslife with Semenya. They ask her what her opinion is on steady runs, tempos and interval work. She give in depth answers lasting around 25 words. WELL DONE RUNNERSLIFE AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Agreed
I don’t know the last poster in anyway and I am not from Wales, but have to agree- it’s a really really good read and I don’t think the creators get the respect they deserve.
Grow some balls and take the pace
I rekon the reason everyone h8s RL so much is cos that c*** mcloud posts on their. when is he gonna fuck off and get a reel job rather than post crap about not gettin payed to race abrord?????????
Daddys boy
That’s the best post all day ‘Grow some…’ It’s about time someone spoke up against that bully, McLeod.
Back to the point
But what about that cheat Semenya? Lets not forget that she is rewining are sport.
So is mcleeeeeeooooooddd!
I fink ryans to blame
African Violet
I think that this raises a pertinent question. Is the Loughborough regime responsible for the downfall of athletics in this world and the greater prevalence of drug cheats? Maybe if Gandy and his cronies took their responsibility a bit more seriously, then this would never have happened. I bet that if Semenya was a Gandy athlete, there wouldn’t have been any questions. Like when he shoe-horns shit athletes into the Loughborough International as ‘past’ students. They cheat just as badly.

I am quite interested in Caster’s training. Although she can run a good 800m, I am not sure if she really has the kick to medal globally over 1500m+. Given that she has two years until the OG, perhaps it is time for her to focus primarily on the half mile distance? I know that she does a lot of ‘base’ work, but this might be wasted when it comes to the crunch
Homo
WHAT PLANET ARE YOU ON WESLSHY??????????????????????????????? Shes a bloke and so wont be aloud to the Olympics
Old Welshy
No reason to get personal. I was only commenting on her training as I know it well

Iblameuka
I think that Stewart is to blame with his fuck of salary and shite dress sense. SACK STEWART, SAVE SEMENYA
Do some runnin
Has anyone ever thought that we may just be wasting our lives talking about things that don’t matter when we could be training and trying to emulate our heroes? Just a thought. Love the site though- well done Alan!
