Caster Semenya cleared as a woman:
South African world 800 meters champion Caster Semenya was cleared Tuesday to compete as a woman, nearly a year after controversial gender tests put her career on hold.
Caster Semenya, the 18-year-old South African whose runaway victory in the 800 metres was overshadowed by allegations that she is a boy and not girl, was so devastated by the hurtful accusations that she threatened to boycott her medal ceremony, it was revealed on Friday.
