The picture says it all, really. Here's what the club's owner, Lolly Jackson, had to say:
'[the Semenya situation was] "the furthest thing from my mind" when he made the ad. Then he added: "I do not want anyone coming here [to Teazers] with the idea that we do not have women. We have women, 100 percent women here. I did a test on them, I am a professional, and they are 100 percent women." If that didn't turn people off enough, he then insulted both the advertising watchdog ("a bunch of idiots doing a worthless job") and the original complainant ("maybe she is fat and ugly").'The picture says it all, really.

CASTER Semenya was subjected to a humiliating examination that included having her genitals photographed, former Athletics South Africa (ASA) team manager Wilfred Daniels has claimed.
During the examination her feet had been braced in stirrups while the pictures were taken, he said.
And South Africa's recently crowned 800m world champion runner had apparently been so upset by the two-hour ordeal that she had sent SMSes and phoned her friends during the examination to tell them what had happened.
Daniels made these claims during a debate with ASA chairman Leonard Chuene on Metro FM last night.
Beeld newspaper reported today that Chuene continued to insist that no gender tests had been ordered and Semenya had been not been subjected to them.
Daniels said Semenya had been bitterly upset after the "drug tests" she had undergone on August 7 at the Medforum Hospital in Pretoria.
Beeld reported that Daniels had suggested that perhaps it was time for Semenya to speak up about what had happened during the tests as this was the only way the truth would come out.
The newspaper said sources confirmed that only two people had been present during the tests - her coach Michael Seme and Dr Harold Adams, South Africa's team doctor. It has been widely reported that Adams had advised ASA that Semenya should not take to the track in Berlin. He has yet to break his silence on his role in the debacle.
Daniels was reported to have said that it no longer mattered what the International Association of Athletics Federations planned to reveal on November 20 as he believed Semenya's athletic career was over.

First, people can't believe in her athletic talent so they call her a male. Then, her blood is secretly tested to determine her gender. Now, she gets a makeover so we can all believe that she is a woman. I really hope that she seriously meant it when she said this, "I see it all as a joke, it doesn't upset me. God made me the way I am and I accept myself."First, people can't believe in her athletic talent so they call her a male.... more

World champion 800m runner Caster Semenya is a hermaphrodite with no womb or ovaries, an Australian newspaper has claimed.
Quoting a source close to the International Association of Athletics Federations, the Sydney Daily Telegraph said Semenya had internal testes - male sexual organs which produce testosterone and which in turn produces muscle bulk, body hair and a deep voice.
The 18-year-old won gold with a sensational final-lap sprint to streak away from the competition in Berlin last month. Britain’s Jenny Meadows took bronze in that 800m final.World champion 800m runner Caster Semenya is a hermaphrodite with no womb or ovaries,... more

According to the BBC, the International Association of Athletics Federations demanded she 'take' the test 3 weeks ago because of concerns she should not be competing in the women's event. But her own country's athletics federation have reportedly stuck by her, saying they've no doubt their 18 year old gold medalist is female.
IAAF spokesman Nick Davies says they're not accusing Semenya of cheating, but International Athletics boss Pierre Weiss said should it be proven she's not female, she'll be withdrawn from the woman's competition and of course the medals from Wednesday night's 800m final will be revised.
