Quote: South Africa threatens 'Third World War' after gender-row runner Caster Semenya is branded hermaphrodite By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 10:57 AM on 12th September 2009 Comments (0) Add to My Stories South African politicians have threatened a 'Third World War' over claims that teenage runner Caster Semenya is a hermaphrodite. The 18-year-old underwent tests to determine if she really is a woman after becoming 800m world champion last month. Last night, the country's sports minister, Makhenkesi Stofile, said her treatment by the International Association of Athletics Federations was 'disgusting' and argued that hermaphrodites have no scientific advantage. South Africa's Caster Semenya underwent tests to determine if she really is a woman after becoming 800m world champion last month Asked what would happen if she was barred from competing in future events, he said: 'I think it would be the Third World War. We will go to the highest levels in contesting such a decision. More...Wow, look at Caster go now! Gender-row runner gets chance to show she's all woman in new photoshoot South African coach of gender row runner Caster Semenya resigns because 'sex-tests were not explained to her' 'I think it would be totally unfair and totally unjust. This is unethical and disgusting'. Officials earlier indicated that South Africa was investigating the possibility of helping Semenya sue the IAAF after the results of her gender tests were apparently leaked to a newspaper. The International Association of Athletics Federations, which ordered sex tests on women's world 800-meter champion Caster Semenya, has refused to confirm or deny Australian media reports that the tests show Semenya has both male and female characteristics. The international body says it is reviewing the results and will issue a final decision in November on whether Semenya will be allowed to continue to compete in women's events. Controversy: Caster Semenya on the cover of You Magazine 'She is going to be dominating the debate today,' Athletics South Africa President Leonard Chuene said. Chuene said he and other officials would review, among other issues, his decision to withdraw from the IAAF board, which South Africa accuses of mishandling the Semenya case by violating its own rules that such matters be handled privately. Results of the ASA deliberations will be announced Sunday, Chuene said. ASA-IAAF relations have been severely strained by the Semenya affair, but Chuene said Saturday, 'We don't fight them. We just want to deal with the matter.' Chuene said he withdrew from the IAAF board because 'you can't sit there, denying and fighting.' But he acknowledged a seat on the board might make it easier to defend Semenya's interests. Chuene noted the IAAF had distanced itself from the reports in the Sydney Daily Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald that have angered everyone from President Jacob Zuma to school children in Semenya's home village in northern South Africa. Semenya won the 800 in Berlin on Aug. 19 by 2.45 seconds in a world-record 1:55.45. Her dramatic improvement in times, muscular build and deep voice had sparked the speculation about her sex, and the IAAF announced the day of the 800 finals that tests had been ordered. Enlarge Semenya waves as she thanks her fans during a parade in the town of Polokwane On Friday, South African Sports Minister Makhenkesi Stofile called a news conference to expressed his horror at the question of the 18-year-old's sex being debated publicly, and Zuma told reporters the media had exploited Semenya. In Ga-Masehlong, the village where Semenya was born, and the neighboring village of Fairlie where she went to high school, there was anger and confusion. Villagers wondered aloud whether what they had heard on TV could be true, and about the emotional toll it could take on a teenager to see headlines declaring she had both male and female sex organs. 'Caster is a woman. I don't like having to hear people from outside saying otherwise. Here in our village it doesn't sit well with us,' said 18-year-old Mapula Phano, who went to high school with Semenya. 'The stuff they have been saying about her could destroy her confidence.' Erina Langa, a neighbour, said she has been impressed by how Semenya has behaved in the last few, difficult weeks. 'She is very, very, very brave,' Langa said. 'She's like her grandmother, she's a tough lady. Anything that she wants, she can do it. She trusts herself.' Semenya, who is a university student in Pretoria, the capital, dropped out of sight on Friday. Semenya greets the crowd during the street parade to celebrate her return to her home town of Masehlong village in Polokwane, South Africa Her coach, Michael Seme, said she would not take part in a 4,000-meter race at the South African Cross Country Championships in Pretoria on Saturday because she was 'not feeling well.' Her younger sister was alone Friday at the family home in Ga-Masehlong, curled up on a verandah that just last month was packed with relatives and friend's celebrating Semenya's victory in Germany. Asked if she wanted to speak, 16-year-old Mkele hid her face in her arms. A neighbour brushed past, saying only: 'I'm not happy.' Visitors at the home of her grandmother, Maputhi Sekgala, in nearby Fairlie found the gate padlocked. Neighbours said Sekgala had gone to another village for a funeral. Sekgala has been among Semenya's most exuberant supporters. She broke into a traditional praise poem at an airport news conference when the champion returned from Germany, and spoke on behalf of the family at an Aug. 28 celebration in Ga-Masehlong. 'It can only be jealousy that makes them say that she is a man,' Sekgala was quoted Friday in The Times, a Johannesburg daily, as saying. 'I raised her as a young girl and I have no doubt that she is a girl. As the family, we don't care who is saying what ... we will always support her athletic talent.' Semenya's father was angry when contacted on Friday, saying people who say his daughter is not a woman 'are sick, they are crazy. Are they God?'
