They have also not ruled out stripping Semenya of her 800m world championships gold medal.</em></blockquote><p>This morning the IAAF told The Times that they had the test results from Germany but these would first be interpreted by a panel of experts before discussing the matter with Caster, and then making a public statement. Well that didn’t happen.</p><p>The anonymous source familiar with the IAAF enquiry says that the two parties at fault for the debacle are “the IAAF and especially Athletics SA. The South Africans have got a massive responsibility, but no one seems to be attacking them. Basically they (ASA) have known for months, for years, that she’s not normal. They could have set in process these kind of tests if they had been more responsible.”</p><p><strong>Testosterone<br /></strong><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380310349803577250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiqkgu3ydtkQWJrgfpeOx3N4Yf1wsgg758jZ2g-9ZhnW0hfety_de3BzVChOjiCHCWlzV1aXdBaZuMHIT2gaD5jiUrRHfQW0iuFpyJ8CkdxlMIZGMTIIeKEYtA2MbznfUc2SAfSN6o-qs/s400/caster-semenya-makeover-athlete-gender.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />Semenya is claimed to have NO womb or ovaries — and has internal testes, the male sexual organs which produce testosterone.<br /><br />The row over Semenya's biology has caused huge divisions — with South African politicians calling slurs she is a man "racist and sexist."

Passing judgment which lasted several hours, Magistrate Edmund Patterson said Matji's speed and his laden vehicle, made the taxi a lethal weapon. A single yes resonated in the court room as he subsequently found Matji guilty of murder, with Patterson calling Matji an evasive witness and finding that his version of events could not reasonably possibly be true.<br /><br />Bernadine’s mother Elsabé Homa, says although the judgment offers her painful experience little relief, it’s better to know that the person responsible for her daughter’s death is now behind bars.<br /><br />Civil rights group AfriForum supported the family and monitored the case throughout. AfriForum’s Nantes Kelder believes that the judgment will have far reaching consequences, and will serve as a deterrent to the general public. Matji's bail was increased and he now has to report to the police daily. He will be sentenced next week. </span></p><p><a class="feedlink" href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=vn20090901040044643C865902"><em><span style="font-family:arial;">Racial issues in scooter death case - lawyer</span></em></a></p><p></p>
