In 2009, at the World Athletics Championship in Berlin, the essence of sport was broken: fair play!
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Caster Semenya appeared and took all world-class runners to become a world champion at 19 years old, progressing 800m by almost TEN seconds in a year and showing the best result of the season.
I would be in Berlin then and for me it would be the darkest day of my entire sports life. This was worse than the most blatant doping scandal, the worst I have ever seen in my long life in sports.
What I said in my report on TV about this event.
Why so ?
Because Semenya was not a woman and it was clear to anyone and everyone who saw her on the runway and especially who saw her up close and talked to her. She ran like a normal guy, not even very talented – 1:55 in 800 at 19 years old is average for a guy, but awesome for women – that’s a world championship title!
It was discovered very quickly that Semenya is a biological male 46XY DSD – with sexual development disorder, lack of external male genitals, but with testicles inside and – most importantly, with male testosterone levels and sensitivity of the body to testosterone.
Several times they tried to stop Semenya from participating in female starts, for a while even that worked, but then all barriers were broken and the very concept of gender became like “ambiguous” – all this nonsense about ‘gender as a spectrum’, gender self-identification, etc.
No self-identification is important in sports – we don’t care who you are – a rocker, a book lover or an amateur astronomer.
Sexual orientation is your personal business and has nothing to do with sports.
And a man’s love for traditional women’s clothes and makeup does not give him the right to compete with women.
This is just not fair !
And transgender men who consider themselves women, followed DSD men in women’s sports.
The height of this madness was in 2016, when at the Rio Olympics, biological men with DSD took the podium of honor in women’s 800m.
So it turns out all these “spooks” turned out to be Africans, but in other sports transwomen=biological men who consider themselves women were of all races and white were masses. The most famous case in swimming is where a white boy declared himself a woman and immediately became a champion from a weak middle class.
The situation was a nightmare for women’s sports: New Religion 2.0 – the denial of biological reality and the destruction of the foundations of sport, was rolling on women. And here in 2016 surprisingly the President of the IAAF became the legendary runner, two-time Olympic champion Sab Coe, Lord Coe, if official.
Very rarely such dignified people get into such positions, alas. And Coe made protecting women’s sports one of his main tasks.
All this torture with biological men in women’s sports grew up in athletics under IAAF President Lamine Diak, who was then convicted by French police in massive corruption and jailed, a funny coincidence. Coe conducted scientific research that proved the obvious truth: women and men who are equally trained differ significantly in their athletic results, All centuries-old sports statistics prove this just as convincing: and now in 2026, when women have been training no less methodically than men, world record-holders simply fail to qualify for the World Championships and the Olympics and lose to 16-year-old boys.
This doesn’t diminish the importance of women’s sport, which I love like millions of sports fans, it tells us that women’s sports should be protected from the invasion of male bodies! Seb Koe went to sports and then to the Swiss federal court to protect women’s sports. It wasn’t easy, big forces got involved to protect “poor girl Semeni”. With a lot of effort, with temporary defeats and at first partly, but the World Athletics managed to expel male bodies from female sports.
And then the first international sports organization completely banned all male bodies in all kinds of athletics.
Meanwhile, Caster Semenya has won 2 Olympics, 3 World Championships and earned tens of millions of dollars.
One Nike, who has fully engaged in this war against women’s sports, has paid Semena a huge sum of money, making it the flagship of its women’s collection.
This made me very disgusted by Nike…
The International Olympic Committee also sided with “postmodernism” and “deconstruction” and actively promoted the ideology of “self-identification” and the free participation of transwomen and men of DSD in women’s sports.
He even produced absolutely false pseudo-research about the “insignificance of testosterone in sports results.”
All of this is the responsibility of Thomas Bach – President of the IEC.
Bach also fought with Koh, and it was this unreconcilable position that cost him the post of president of the IOC in the last year’s elections. Bach personally campaigned against Seb, talking to members of the IOC. A wide audience learned about this problem after the Paris 2024 Olympics, when an Algerian boxer beat women, and the pseudo-progressive public applauded it, and Bach personally threatened journalists with revocation of accreditation if they called things by their names: a man, a man.
Two-time Olympic champion swimming Christie Coventry of Zimbabwe won the IOC elections, she was cautious about women’s sport and was generally a weak candidate, so often happens in such elections.
But, having come to the post of President, Coventry behaved decisively and correctly in this case.
And here, the historic solution: complete protection of women’s sports according to the World Athletics: a single saliva test for the presence of a gene that determines a person’s sexual development – “the SRY gene, a segment of DNA typically found on the Y chromosome that initiates male sex development in utero and indicates the presence of tests/testicles. ”
And only biological women get the opportunity to compete in women’s sports, not transwomen or men with DSD!
Transwomen and DSD men have every right to compete in the male category, no one deprives them of that.
This decision has no reverse force, there were other rules back then.
But it’s worth remembering at least these three women, deprived of well-deserved Olympic medals: fame and financial prospects:
Melissa Bishop of Canada, Joanna Jozwik of Poland and GB’s Lynsey Sharp.
