Complaint

This bulletin included comments by the athlete Caster Semenya on gender testing at the Olympics.  A listener complained the report failed to include a statement that Semenya has male biology.  The ECU considered whether the item met the 91福利社鈥檚 accuracy Guidelines.


Outcome

This was a very brief report about Semenya, which referred to 鈥渢he world鈥檚 best known hyperandrogenic athlete鈥 who was disputing 鈥済ender verification tests鈥.  In the ECU鈥檚 view this was sufficient to inform listeners who Semenya was and there was no prospect listeners would have been materially misled by the absence of further information.
