  Just to broaden this out a bit and talk about gender in sport. We have this current story about the runner of the unmemorable name who won the 800 metres at the recent World Athletic Championships. I was watching this on television in a foreign land and I turned round and said..is that guy in the wrong race?? One glance at the runner in question and you could tell the sex or testosterone levels were weird. Perhaps it was the five o clock shadow, perhaps it was the flat chest, perhaps it was big shoulders and muscular arms, perhaps it was the male snake slim hips, whatever it was she looked bloody odd to me. I wasnt to know a furore was about to break. But here is the real issue...I felt sorry for the real girls trying desperately to win a medal a long way behind in the race. Lets not forget them.
