> And you thought you had heard it all

No No, the last word on Doha Asian games has not been heard. Atleast not for India.

In first of its kind incident to come to light in Indian sport, An athlete has failed a gender test you heard it, no not drugs, a gender test

Indian athlete Santhi Soundarajan, who won the women's 800 metres silver medal in the 15th Asian Games is to be stripped of the medal, as she has reportedly failed a gender test conducted at the games.


I am speechless frankly

This is really bizarre


But funny as hell - thought it only happened in Movies

you know what, Indian sports is a comedy these days...(and frankly its been like that for quite a lot many these days )
and if this indeed "unnatural" then this is height of depravity.

Shattering for Santhi really...Humiliating...

But how do they check the gender...I mean I kn its obvious but do they really do that...curious...hope tommorows paper carries news...
She must be devastated...humilated n disgraced....this isnt like any doping test she failed... she has lost her battle with nature n the whole world knows abt it now....
poosr soul...God bless her...

^ It seems a competitor complained to the authorities.

More details would be good - its too hazy at the moment.

are you sure that the complaint was from a competitor.

sorry that was bit funny...wonder what the reaction of umm the competitor would have been if she was also in err "compromising" position
