After Dutee Chand, two-time Olympic gold medalist, Castor Semenya, athletics has once again brought the gender test into question. Semenya has made a big disclosure on gender testing. The South African runner, who won two Commonwealth gold and three World Championship gold, said, "When I was 18, I agreed to show my private parts to the track official to prove myself as a woman." In an interview with HBO Real Sports Broadcast, Semenya accused the world governing body of athletics, saying that I was tortured by the global body of athletics to take medicine to participate in the competition and left for fear of having a heart attack. Was. Referring to an incident at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Semenya said, 'There I won the 800m gold. I was 18 then and that was my first big title. But, considering my performance and physique, the governing body asked me for gender testing. The track official thought I was a man.

Semenya said- 'I told them. This is right. I'm a woman, I don't care if you want to see that I'm a woman. I can show you my vagina. After winning the world title, Semenya was forced by the International Athletics Federation to take medicines to lower high testosterone in order to compete with women, but the global body has not shared the details of those medicines to date. It is believed that he may have taken birth control pills to reduce testosterone.

Meanwhile, World Athletics lawyer Joythan Taylor defended the medicine, saying the leading expert has said they would prescribe these drugs to female athletes for high testosterone. Responding to this, Semenya said that Joythan should cut off his tongue and throw it away.
