Tests have revealed Caster Semenya’s testosterone level to be three times higher than those normally expected in a female sample, BBC Sport understands.

Analysis prior to the World Athletics Championships and the 18-year-old’s big improvement prompted calls for a gender test from the sport’s governing body.

It was made public only hours before the South African, who has been backed by her nation, won the 800m in Berlin.

Um, what, three times higher the normal testosterone levels?  There’s only one thing that can explain this – (in best Austin Powers voice) She’s a Man, Baby, a Man! I’m sure it has to be the much improved times that raised a red flag for her to be tested again – not the fact that he-she looks like a 5 star D-1 football or basketball prospect.
