India’s she-man to lose medal

Indian athlete Santhi Soundarajan is embroiled in a gender controversy after having reportedly failed a test conducted at the 15th Asian Games in Doha.

She/He now runs the risk of being stripped of the silver medal won in the women's 800 metres. Looking at the photo, can you identify this athlete?

How embarrassing for India. This hugely populated nation managed to win only 10 gold medals, 18 silvers and 26 bronze medals -a shameful distance from China which topped the games with 165 golds, 88 silvers and 63 bronze.

It must be embarrassing for Santhi’s coach who claims he know nothing about the gender of his athlete. Worse still for the Tamil Nadu Athletic Association which is organising a reception for Santhi for winning the silver medal.

But you know what is the most embarrassing aspect of the whole issue? It is the fact that even with a supposedly man running the race, India still ended second in the 800 metres! The race was won by Mariam Yusuf Jamal of Bahrain.
