"Sooo, ummm, like, Caster Semenya, what's really good down south?"

Unless you've taken up residence under a rock, you would have undoubtedly heard the latest story in sports today (and no, we're not talking about Olympic medallist, superfreak and government experiment Usain Bolt - big up to him for that ridiculous race).

The Dog is, of course, talking about 18-year old South African gold medallist Caster Semenya. She has taken home the top prize for her impressive run in the 800 metres race at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin, and is doing SA pretty proud.

However, Semenya has come under attack for her ... um, UNORTHODOX appearance, to say the very least. Caster Semenya is being asked to undergo a gender test to prove that she is female and hence worthy of her medal in the women's finals.

According to the UK Guardian, Semenya doesn't see what all the fuss is about - she knows she is a woman, she has been teased for this all her life, and now it seems like she is pretty much over it. The Dog applauds her laidback, dohcare attitude to the media controversy and the attacks she has come under. The Dog finds this admirable. But even he is left to wonder: Caster, what's really good?

Or are we doing the whole "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" thing? In that case, The Dog has no questions, he has some skeletons in his kennel that he doesn't want getting out.

In the meantime, we here at The Angry Pothound support Caster Semenya 100%. The Dog has no time for petty gossip.

Poor Caster.
