   Been listening to this great new podcast called Tested. It's about female athletes who are considered too "masculine" to be "real" women and are banned from competing.

   Other than Caster Semenya, who you've probably heard of, there are a couple of Namibian athletes and some Brazilians.

   I'm picking up a whiff of #racism. I bet the IAAF and IOC would change the rules if the athlete was blonde and blue-eyed
