CASTER SEMENYA DID NOT WANT TO ATTEND THE GOLD MEDAL CEREMONY
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
The president of Athletics South Africa, Leonard Chuene, had to persuade Caster Semenya to go to the podium to accept her award. She was asked to take a gender test and to hear that people thought that she was a boy was not a good feeling. She asked him WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE? YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT ME IN MY VILLAGE AT HOME! She was not rejoicing. She didn’t want the medal. She also said that “no-one ever said I was not a girl but here (at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin). I AM NOT. I AM NOT A BOY.
The case has sparked anger in South Africa, where many have said she has been unfairly treated. Well, I know that this is not the end of this story, TRUST ME!!!!!! SOUTH AFRICA STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
