And you're missing the point Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 13/09/2009 01:39:46 AM
She would never have had anything, not at 11, 12 , 13, or 14 , or EVER.


...that that isn't AS inexplicable or uncommon as you seem to think, and not necessarily a reason why she or her parents would have suspected anything like this ;)

It's not at all unusual for girls not to start cycling until 14/15/16, and by that time she was already in training as a runner.

I think it's likely that she and/or her parents knew. But there is enough of an element of doubt (due to issues like this) that I'm willing to admit there's at least a possibility that they didn't.

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

Caster Semenya has male sex organs and no womb or ovaries - 11/09/2009 12:24:30 PM 1962 Views
I think revoking the championship and a ban at this point would be plain wrong - 11/09/2009 02:01:15 PM 1113 Views
Well said. - 11/09/2009 02:10:31 PM 1105 Views
agreed. *NM* - 11/09/2009 02:36:06 PM 557 Views
I agree. *NM* - 11/09/2009 03:20:05 PM 551 Views
I agree it's not her fault, but she shouldn't keep her championship. - 11/09/2009 03:50:06 PM 1083 Views
Possibly a quibble, but just trying to clarify... - 11/09/2009 05:15:52 PM 1208 Views
It makes sense - 13/09/2009 05:04:23 PM 1136 Views
I disagree - 11/09/2009 04:09:50 PM 1493 Views
As bad as if feel for the athlete, I agree. *NM* - 11/09/2009 04:46:57 PM 512 Views
To the extent that LadyLorraine means "at this point", I do agree with her... - 11/09/2009 05:03:34 PM 1204 Views
Sounds like she/he is more dude than chick..... - 11/09/2009 02:42:33 PM 1162 Views
not really. it only takes ONE mistake to cause her problems. - 12/09/2009 03:19:06 AM 1117 Views
It's not that simple with DNA either. - 12/09/2009 10:38:28 AM 1200 Views
no it's not as simple as "XX" and "XY" - 12/09/2009 03:02:03 PM 1124 Views
I think it is a sad story - 11/09/2009 04:34:29 PM 1165 Views
I agree. - 11/09/2009 09:20:35 PM 1212 Views
I like I said, tragic - 11/09/2009 09:34:57 PM 1047 Views
I can't believe this whole thing is public - 11/09/2009 07:03:59 PM 1205 Views
That's a good idea! - 11/09/2009 07:17:20 PM 1103 Views
Yeah, seems fair. Medal, no record. - 11/09/2009 07:57:38 PM 1056 Views
How could she not know something was different? Not developing a period would be a major sign. *NM* - 11/09/2009 09:21:54 PM 524 Views
Not necessarily, depending on the rigors of her athletic training. *NM* - 11/09/2009 09:26:32 PM 508 Views
When do most girls get their first period? Around 12 or 13? - 12/09/2009 07:34:23 AM 1051 Views
Yes, but 14 or 15 isn't out of the ordinary *NM* - 12/09/2009 11:23:09 AM 516 Views
I didn't start until I was 17 *NM* - 12/09/2009 03:02:28 PM 476 Views
That is a bit unusual. *shrugs* *NM* - 13/09/2009 01:17:18 AM 532 Views
starting THAT late is, yes - 13/09/2009 04:24:44 AM 1295 Views
There are plenty of runners who do hard training that keeps them from getting a regular period - 11/09/2009 09:29:24 PM 1146 Views
I'd say so too. Periods have a lot to do with % body fat. - 12/09/2009 12:28:46 AM 1242 Views
Not at the age when a girl first develops her period. - 12/09/2009 07:36:24 AM 1120 Views
You have an odd understanding of what's normal... - 12/09/2009 02:51:37 PM 1128 Views
And you are still missing the point. - 13/09/2009 01:18:54 AM 1054 Views
And you're missing the point - 13/09/2009 01:39:46 AM 1099 Views
What Sareitha said. - 13/09/2009 03:50:05 AM 1227 Views
people develop 30lb tumors and never go to get them checked out - 11/09/2009 09:36:18 PM 1151 Views
Well, now that you put it that way I guess I could see that. *NM* - 12/09/2009 07:37:18 AM 522 Views
Not that rare in athletes. - 12/09/2009 01:06:27 AM 1099 Views
like i said in my first post - 12/09/2009 03:25:04 AM 1160 Views
I like that idea. That is the most sensible solution. *NM* - 12/09/2009 01:07:42 AM 478 Views
This whole thing has been handled disgracefully - 12/09/2009 12:37:35 PM 1244 Views
Considering that similar questions have arisen before - 13/09/2009 01:43:18 AM 1328 Views
