Further info on the story. Seems that they think she was born a hermaphrodite.
Also it seems that the lack of a cock and balls is not enough to prove you are not a man!

and there's a monthly report of people who were identified as one sex when booked but turn out to be genetically the other.
There's more than you'd think.

where a woman in the states had to have her child's DNA tested to prove paternity.
The odd thing was that when the results came back it seemed that she wasn't the mother.
Turned out that her reproductive organs were those of her twin sister who had never been born, she had absorbed her in the womb and this meant that her fanny and that were not technically hers!

having seen pictures of her from less than 8 months ago, and comparing them to now, this is more likely a case of massive massive doping. take enough male hormones and it can confuse the body completely. not that she couldn't have mixed-up chromosomes/genitalia, but combine her massive sudden growth with massive improvements in her time, and i'd be completely stunned if this doesn't turn out to be a (lady)garden-variety case of doping.
