Indian runner fails gender test, loses medal

Associated Press

NEW DELHI, India -- An Indian runner who won a silver medal in the women's 800 meters at the Asian Games failed a gender test and was stripped of the medal.

Santhi Soudarajan was tested after the race this month in Doha, Qatar.

The test reports sent to the Indian Olympic Association on Sunday said Soudarajan "does not possess the sexual characteristics of a woman," The Times of India reported. The test was administered by a medical commission set up by the games' organizers.

How would you like to administer that test?
"Yep, that's a penis. Test failed. Next!"
Easy money actually... Hmmm, checking want ads. Do I want 'G' for gender checker, or "P" for penis investigator?
