look at Caster go now! Gender-row runner gets chance to show

Wearing lipstick, a glamorous dress and jiggling bangles doesn't make you a girl. But as Caster Semenya shows, it certainly helps.

The 18-year-old runner, who faced accusations of being a man after winning gold at the world championships in Berlin last month, has been given a glossy makeover.

She appears on the cover of a magazine in her native South Africa wearing a black evening dress with the headline 'Wow, look at Caster now!'



'I am who I am and I am proud of myself,' she told the magazine.

'I'd like to dress up more often and wear dresses but I never get the chance.'

The controversy over her gender, which has angered many in South Africa, emerged after she took gold in the women's 800 metres.

She is awaiting results of gender tests but said she was not bothered about the row overshadowing her win.

'I see it all as a joke, it doesn't upset me. God made me the way I am and I accept myself,' she said.
And there are some compensations. Oprah Winfrey has invited her to star on her chat show.

i knew she was a chick from day one. when i saw the make over on the news yesterday i was like, "WWWWWWWWOOOOOWWWW", she aint bad looking either. got some nice DSLs too.

Well the results on her sexuality are finally in and she's a
Man. CNN has reported that she's actually a hermaphrodite with undecended testicles, no whom, and no ovaries.

Her medals won't be taken away from her because they say it's not an issue of cheating.
