Twin Peaks was pure gold. But as for this one, I’m a bit sceptic.

I have always liked her. Thanks for the heads up.

Point.

I read some more of that topic and it’s quite funny how seriously they took it.

Not surprised really though it never stops to amaze me how some people response to things they don’t like. You get immediate feedback if you post something what doesn’t fit their taste.

Don’t rush all at once.

I can’t make it work with chrome…what might be the problem? Tried with firefox and seems to be working fine with it but nothing happens when I press the button with chrome.

Edit: the whole toolbar seems to be dead with chrome.

Caster Semenya’s rights being ‘swept under the carpet’, says sports scientist Tim Noakes

An eminent sports scientist has accused the International Association of Athletics Federations of being more concerned with brushing the issue of gender under the carpet than protecting the rights of athletes such as Caster Semenya.

Semenya, the world 800 metres world champion, is still waiting for the results of her gender verification test that will determine whether she will be allowed to continue competing in women’s races.
But Tim Noakes, professor of sports science and exercise at the University of Cape Town, said the IAAF was more interested in the image of the sport than Semenya’s welfare.

“As many as eight ‘intersex’ women may have been expelled from athletics in the past and I gather that they were warned that if they made a fuss, they would be exposed,” Noakes said.
“So it seems it’s not about athletic advantage. It’s about keeping the Olympics free of intersex athletes, free of unwanted complications.
“It sends the message that women must do what men say and if the eight previous athletes had to be sacrificed, so be it, which I find very disturbing.”
Pierre Weiss, the general secretary of the IAAF, confirmed last year that Semenya was the eighth gender case the world governing body had dealt with since 2005. “Four of those athletes were asked to stop their careers,” he said.
But Noakes, who co-founded the Sports Science Institute of South Africa, said the 19 year-old should be allowed to carry on competing, regardless of the test results.
“There is no single test that will show whether you are more male than female” he said.
“The external examination seems to show that she is female and, although her testosterone levels may be elevated, they could still be within the normal range for a woman.
“There are some genetic variants allowed in sport and which clearly provide a performance advantage. I would argue, for example, that Usain Bolt is genetically different.”

Hmm I wasn’t aware there had been so many cases. Most likely because those were handled with no-nsense.

Now they say the final decision will came in late june.
