I can't believe this whole thing is public Monkey Send a noteboard - 11/09/2009 07:03:59 PM
Seriously guys, this is likely to be a massive psychological deal for her, can't the IAAF just let the world leave her alone?

Right, I've said that. With the medal, I think it depends on whether she knew or not. Doesn't matter if anyone else knew, if she didn't know about this she should be allowed to keep her medal. As for the record, that I think should be abolished. Being able to keep the medal is enough.

I think revoking the championship and a ban at this point would be plain wrong LadyLorraine - 11/09/2009 02:01:15 PM 1024 Views
Well said. Lupine - 11/09/2009 02:10:31 PM 1006 Views

I agree. *NM* @my - 11/09/2009 03:20:05 PM 494 Views
I agree it's not her fault, but she shouldn't keep her championship. Aemon - 11/09/2009 03:50:06 PM 1000 Views
Possibly a quibble, but just trying to clarify... Sareitha Sedai - 11/09/2009 05:15:52 PM 1117 Views
It makes sense StarEnight - 13/09/2009 05:04:23 PM 1036 Views
I disagree Сталин - 11/09/2009 04:09:50 PM 1376 Views
As bad as if feel for the athlete, I agree. *NM* ironclad - 11/09/2009 04:46:57 PM 457 Views
Ditto. Assuming she never knew about it, which remains to be seen. *NM* Wibble - 11/09/2009 08:08:29 PM 459 Views
To the extent that LadyLorraine means "at this point", I do agree with her... Sareitha Sedai - 11/09/2009 05:03:34 PM 1087 Views
Sounds like she/he is more dude than chick..... trzaska2000 - 11/09/2009 02:42:33 PM 1080 Views
not really. it only takes ONE mistake to cause her problems. LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:19:06 AM 1028 Views
It's not that simple with DNA either. Legolas - 12/09/2009 10:38:28 AM 1098 Views
no it's not as simple as "XX" and "XY" LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:02:03 PM 1037 Views
I think it is a sad story random thoughts - 11/09/2009 04:34:29 PM 1082 Views
I agree. everynametaken - 11/09/2009 09:20:35 PM 1128 Views

That's a good idea! Floffe - 11/09/2009 07:17:20 PM 1019 Views
Yeah, seems fair. Medal, no record. Legolas - 11/09/2009 07:57:38 PM 977 Views
How could she not know something was different? Not developing a period would be a major sign. *NM* everynametaken - 11/09/2009 09:21:54 PM 469 Views
Not necessarily, depending on the rigors of her athletic training. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 11/09/2009 09:26:32 PM 447 Views
When do most girls get their first period? Around 12 or 13? everynametaken - 12/09/2009 07:34:23 AM 967 Views
Yes, but 14 or 15 isn't out of the ordinary *NM* Floffe - 12/09/2009 11:23:09 AM 468 Views
I didn't start until I was 17 *NM* LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:02:28 PM 428 Views
That is a bit unusual. *shrugs* *NM* everynametaken - 13/09/2009 01:17:18 AM 485 Views
starting THAT late is, yes LadyLorraine - 13/09/2009 04:24:44 AM 1214 Views
There are plenty of runners who do hard training that keeps them from getting a regular period Floffe - 11/09/2009 09:29:24 PM 1050 Views
I'd say so too. Periods have a lot to do with % body fat. Lupine - 12/09/2009 12:28:46 AM 1137 Views
Not at the age when a girl first develops her period. everynametaken - 12/09/2009 07:36:24 AM 1035 Views
You have an odd understanding of what's normal... Lupine - 12/09/2009 02:51:37 PM 1046 Views
And you are still missing the point. everynametaken - 13/09/2009 01:18:54 AM 966 Views
And you're missing the point Sareitha Sedai - 13/09/2009 01:39:46 AM 993 Views

Not that rare in athletes. Tashmere - 12/09/2009 01:06:27 AM 973 Views
like i said in my first post LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:25:04 AM 1067 Views
I like that idea. That is the most sensible solution. *NM* Tashmere - 12/09/2009 01:07:42 AM 426 Views
This whole thing has been handled disgracefully Sidious - 12/09/2009 12:37:35 PM 1151 Views
Considering that similar questions have arisen before Sareitha Sedai - 13/09/2009 01:43:18 AM 1221 Views
