Asian Games: Medallist from India fails sex test

phpzit9e6.jpgNEW DELHI, India : Asian Games silver medallist Santhi Soundarajan of India has failed a sex test and will be stripped of her medal, officials have said.“Santhi was subjected to a gender test in Doha and we have received the report which says she failed the test,” said Manmohan Singh, chairman of the Indian Olympic Association’s Medical Commission. A media report said Soundarajan had been refused employment in the Indian railways last year because its medical panel “was not satisfied about her gender.”The 25-year-old athlete, whose parents are brick-kiln workers, hails from the village of Kathakkurichi in Pudukkottai district of the southern state of Tamil Nadu.

Disturbing. Enough said.
