"NEW DELHI, India -- An Indian runner who won a silver medal in the women's 800 meters at the Asian Games failed a gender test and was stripped of the medal. Shanti Sounderajan, 25, took the gender test in Doha, Qatar, after placing second. Indian runner Santhi Soundarajan, who won a silver medal in the women's 800 meters at the Asian Games, failed a gender test. The test reports sent to the Indian Olympic Association on Sunday said Soudarajan "does not possess the sexual characteristics of a woman," The Times of India reported. The test was administered by a medical commission set up by the games' organizers. The Indian Olympic Association said Monday it has been told by the Olympic Council of Asia that the 25-year-old runner was disqualified. "IOA has asked the Athletic Federation of India to return the medal as desired by the Olympic Council of Asia," the Indian Olympic group said. The IOA also asked its medical commission to inquire into Sounderajan's case and report within 10 days. There are no compulsory gender tests during events sanctioned by track and field's international ruling body, but athletes may be asked to take a gender test. The medical evaluation panel usually includes a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist and internal medicine specialist. An Indian athletics official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media said Sounderajan almost certainly never had sex-change surgery. Instead, the official said Sounderajan appeared to have "abnormal chromosomes." The official also said the test revealed more Y chromosomes than allowed. Sounderajan was not immediately available for comment. "

"Hey I'm here for the test"

"Ok, pull down your pants"

hahaha

12/18/2006 3:49:26 PM

12/18/2006 3:51:27 PM

you don't get Y chromosomes from taking steroids...

and this isn't that uncommon....

to quote from House "the perfect woman is a man"

well another article proves that most indian guys have little dicks so maybe they just missed it

12/18/2006 4:10:54 PM

haha I remember reading an article in ESPN the mag about how India was the least athletic country in the world in terms of their performance at the Olympics and how many medals they won. I guess this was their plan to do better

12/18/2006 4:26:07 PM

^^^ahahahahaha

12/18/2006 4:31:47 PM

So could a hermaphrodite compete in both the male and female competitions?

12/18/2006 5:30:33 PM

didn't even win

12/18/2006 5:31:12 PM

dont them indians have them hajjas in their country, the "untouchables"

they dont have a gendr identity because they get their dicks chopped off at an early age

ad they behave as cross dressers do in the usa

12/18/2006 7:34:47 PM

someone post the picture of that "female" cyclist who got caught with steroids

12/18/2006 7:39:08 PM

^^^
no those are eunuchs

12/18/2006 8:26:35 PM

no they arent, its culturally different

learned it in ANTHROPOLOGY

12/18/2006 8:37:31 PM

^ hijras and eunochs are the same thing, they are indias 3rd gender.

untouchables or harijan are an indian class/caste and the two are not the same. you may have learned it in anthropology, but you obviously didn't remember it correctly

i also wonder if its possible that the runner didn't know he had male dna. there are numerous cases of males being born with feminine appearances. its possible he was born with ambiguous genetalia and was raised female. brings up issues of what we consider male and female
