Caster Semenya keeps her gold medal;
South African runner Caster Semenya will keep her 800-meter gold medal from the world championships, and the results of her gender tests will be kept confidential, the South African sports ministry announced today.
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.
