Female athletes who may not be female

Be fair, Caster Semenya was honestly believed to be a girl when she was born and the truth wasn't discovered until she was about 19. Obviously she was going to have superior athletic ability due to being actually male, but she was believed to be an unusually good girl (just as Erik Schinneger was, until the truth was revealed when he was about the same age and headed for the Winter Olympics). Caster Semenya did not "identify" as female in order to win races. It started as an honest mistake, although it was later perpetuated in bad faith for medal-winning purposes.
