I am so very proud that she won the Gold Medal. I just pray that once the results are in, they will all get in line to kiss her ass!

African Americans seems to be under suspicion when we accomplish unprecedented goals. If I'm not mistaken the Kenyans were barred from a race, several years ago. A Harvard Professor was under suspicion at his own home. Some races are always suspicious of others. I believe that make some be suspicious of those suspicious ones. I feel like it’s racism again.

I for one strongly disagree with there reason for questioning her gender because of the time(a world leading time of 1 minute 56.72 seconds)she ran at the African junior championships in Bambous, Maruitius at the end of July. Unfortunately Semenya will once again be subjected to the glare of the media spotlight on Thursday at about 1730 BST when she is due to be presented with her gold medal after winning the 800m final in a new world leading time of 1 minute 55.45 seconds. If her gender is being questioned for the times she puts up, then the genders of the guys running with Bolt should be checked to see if they are women because they can't seem to keep up with him lol. I mean, come on people!!! Yes her physique resembles that of a man but i know other women that have a similar built, but fortunately for them they don't break records and are put under a microscope for the world to see!!! Like you I'm interested to see the outcome of this!!! This could have been handled differently the media has made this matter into somewhat of a circus act!!! .-= Mellogyrl´s last blog ..<a href="http://mellogyrl.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/searching/" rel="nofollow">Searching</a> =-.
