Winner of the 800 in Berlin has to go through a plethora of tests to determine if she is female, never heard of that happening before. On a side note, how do you feel about your countrywoman, Limey?

I read that they stopped testing for it at the olympics after a bunch of false positives at the 96 games

What gets me is the articles on that story say that it will take a few weeks to process test results. Seems like an xray or MRI or physical examination should provide pretty quick results.

Usain Bolt won the mens' 200 meters, of course, but the silver was won by Panamanian Alonso Edward who is still very young and should only get better with more and better coaching.
