Well if the purpose of the test was to find out her gender and we found out that she is actually a she and a he, then it seems like keeping the rest of the test secret is moot.

Give him/her half the medal.

I’d like to see what kind of shit storm would have been caused by all of this if she (for the lack of a better term) had actually gone and broken the world record. Then, the claims of a huge competitive advantage mean something to me. but she was two seconds off the world record. Let’s all go test Jarmila Kratochvílová (yeah, I had to look it up) for male parts.

Also, a great way to divert attention away from this train wreck is to post the pigsplosion three seconds after this.
