I've read the articles concerning this and they're testing to see if she is transgendered or has some other sexual genetic disorder. Part of the reason I think is that in the past year, she didn't even qualify yet this year she got first place and didn't use steroids.

There have been cases where a person was a female and at around 20 years old or so, she became masculine due to a genetic disorder.I believe the cases I'm referring to are of Alexina/Abel Barbin but there's alsoi Marie/Germain Gerard. The / represents the change in name when they were discovered to have developed male genitals when they previously lacked them.

There's numerous genetic disorders, anything from XX males and XY females to 5-alpha reductase deficiency and so on. Strangely enough, on their panel of experts, they have a psychologist or psychiatrist (forget which one), a gynocologist and some other experts. However, they have NO teratologist, which I find to be pretty funny.

However, despite this, I think it's of nobody's business to know that they're running tests on her. Perhaps if she is shown to be a male or very male-like, then I could understand the rationale of announcing that IFF (if and only if) that involves an issue with her keeping her medals. Other than that, I feel it's only a concern to her, her family, her coaches and the panel of doctors.
