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 965 Views
Well said. Lupine - 11/09/2009 02:10:31 PM 958 Views

I agree it's not her fault, but she shouldn't keep her championship. Aemon - 11/09/2009 03:50:06 PM 938 Views
Possibly a quibble, but just trying to clarify... Sareitha Sedai - 11/09/2009 05:15:52 PM 1041 Views
It makes sense StarEnight - 13/09/2009 05:04:23 PM 982 Views
I disagree Сталин - 11/09/2009 04:09:50 PM 1323 Views
As bad as if feel for the athlete, I agree. *NM* ironclad - 11/09/2009 04:46:57 PM 438 Views
Ditto. Assuming she never knew about it, which remains to be seen. *NM* Wibble - 11/09/2009 08:08:29 PM 434 Views
To the extent that LadyLorraine means "at this point", I do agree with her... Sareitha Sedai - 11/09/2009 05:03:34 PM 1019 Views
Sounds like she/he is more dude than chick..... trzaska2000 - 11/09/2009 02:42:33 PM 1017 Views
not really. it only takes ONE mistake to cause her problems. LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:19:06 AM 971 Views
It's not that simple with DNA either. Legolas - 12/09/2009 10:38:28 AM 1039 Views
no it's not as simple as "XX" and "XY" LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:02:03 PM 976 Views
I think it is a sad story random thoughts - 11/09/2009 04:34:29 PM 1025 Views
I agree. everynametaken - 11/09/2009 09:20:35 PM 1067 Views

That's a good idea! Floffe - 11/09/2009 07:17:20 PM 963 Views
Yeah, seems fair. Medal, no record. Legolas - 11/09/2009 07:57:38 PM 921 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 447 Views
Not necessarily, depending on the rigors of her athletic training. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 11/09/2009 09:26:32 PM 422 Views
When do most girls get their first period? Around 12 or 13? everynametaken - 12/09/2009 07:34:23 AM 905 Views
Yes, but 14 or 15 isn't out of the ordinary *NM* Floffe - 12/09/2009 11:23:09 AM 447 Views
I didn't start until I was 17 *NM* LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:02:28 PM 409 Views
That is a bit unusual. *shrugs* *NM* everynametaken - 13/09/2009 01:17:18 AM 461 Views
starting THAT late is, yes LadyLorraine - 13/09/2009 04:24:44 AM 1158 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 994 Views
I'd say so too. Periods have a lot to do with % body fat. Lupine - 12/09/2009 12:28:46 AM 1078 Views
Not at the age when a girl first develops her period. everynametaken - 12/09/2009 07:36:24 AM 980 Views
You have an odd understanding of what's normal... Lupine - 12/09/2009 02:51:37 PM 990 Views
And you are still missing the point. everynametaken - 13/09/2009 01:18:54 AM 908 Views
And you're missing the point Sareitha Sedai - 13/09/2009 01:39:46 AM 944 Views

Well, now that you put it that way I guess I could see that. *NM* everynametaken - 12/09/2009 07:37:18 AM 436 Views
Not that rare in athletes. Tashmere - 12/09/2009 01:06:27 AM 918 Views
like i said in my first post LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:25:04 AM 1015 Views
I like that idea. That is the most sensible solution. *NM* Tashmere - 12/09/2009 01:07:42 AM 405 Views
This whole thing has been handled disgracefully Sidious - 12/09/2009 12:37:35 PM 1096 Views
Considering that similar questions have arisen before Sareitha Sedai - 13/09/2009 01:43:18 AM 1150 Views
