It’s just unacceptable for someone to be treated in this manner.

The IAAF are a disgrace. Perhaps female athletes should boycott their events until there are more balanced rules in place.

So agree with this! Also it's not about black women it's about letting females compete, regardless of whatever natural ability or enhancement they are born with. If Semenya styled her hair differently, wore makeup and chose to dress "pretty" her "famaleness" would not be questioned by the public at large. She trains so hard and deserves her achievements.

This is an assault on the spirit of sportsmanship and the Olympic ethos. Shame on the so called enlightened 1st world.

total disgrace towards any human. Castor is a unbelievable talented person, at least she is not a disgrace to our country, she carries her country with proud on her shoulders. im 100% on her side and any other athlete.
