Indian Runner Fails Gender Test

From Wikipedia:

Santhi Soundarajan is an Indian athlete who won a silver medal in the women's 800m race in the 2006 Asian Games in December, 2006. Soundarajan underwent a sex test shortly after claiming victory, and the results have indicated that she "does not possess the sexual characteristics of a woman."

While such sex tests are not compulsory for competitors, the International Association of Athletics Federations can request that contenders take such tests at any time, and include intensive evaluation by a gynecologist, an endocrinologist, a psychologist, and an internal medicine specialist.


I don't understand why you need so many experts. Surely just pull their pants down and see what's dangling?
