No fraud. She probably has the testicular feminization syndrome, in which you look exactly like a woman, but don't menstruate or grow body hair. True gender can only determined by genetic testing, as in this case.

Re: A female medal winner at asiad found not female enough Do such people have an advantage over females in terms of strength dhondy......? If not...then they shuld be allowed to participate. I feel sorry for her.....it 's not like aa drug case...here she has not done anything deliberatly . People get away by feasting on nandro......but she gets penalised.If they can't let her compete with women ...they they should give her another category as she will be at a disadvantage competing with functional(can't think of another word right now :hic: )males.

Re: A female medal winner at asiad found not female enough so... what kind of reproductive organs would she/he have??

[Dhondy]

Re: A female medal winner at asiad found not female enough Beetle, the condition develops because a person who is genetically male has tissue resistance to male hormones. In the complete form, the person develops exactly like a female, except that she doesn't have ovaries or uterus, hence can't menstruate, and there is no pubic or armpit hair. And there is no competitive advantage, because muscles do not develop like males due to hormone resistance In the incomplete form, newborn are often born with ambiguous genitals, causing confusion about gender. The child will probably look like a female, but at puberty, some male characteristics may develop, such as deep voice, body hair or enlargement of the "clitoris". Such people do indeed have a competitive advantage in sport over other females, because their muscles will have been exposed to some male hormones. The incomplete form can sometimes be confused with a disorder called 5-alpha reductase deficiency, which can also cause confusion about gender. Most of these people, however, grow up as males.

Re: A female medal winner at asiad found not female enough Thanks dhondy! So if this lady is the first kind...then it is ok for her to compete in the women's events.... Are the incomplete types the ones that benifit from sex change surgeries..? And what is the difference between the incomplete types and eunuchs ...?

I had this doubt so as of today it's baseless mud slinging, right? I don;t think they have done genetic testing.
