Judging by the picture, I think they may have gotten this one right.

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.

Indian runner Santhi Soundarajan, who won a silver medal in the women's 800 meters at the Asian Games, failed a gender test.

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.

The Indian Olympic Association said Monday it has been told by the Olympic Council of Asia that the 25-year-old runner was disqualified.

"IOA has asked the Athletic Federation of India to return the medal as desired by the Olympic Council of Asia," the Indian Olympic group said.

The IOA also asked its medical commission to inquire into Sounderajan's case and report within 10 days.

There are no compulsory gender tests during events sanctioned by track and field's international ruling body, but athletes may be asked to take a gender test. The medical evaluation panel usually includes a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist and internal medicine specialist.

Gender Tester at the Asian Games is now officially the worst job in the world.

Dola, I'm still waiting for somebody to do a gender test on Amelie Mauresmo. If anybody's a man, baby, it's her/him.

Nah, Amelie is just Fabio's long lost twin sister.

I wonder if they had to call in the Endocrinologist?

Oh and judging by the picture, I'm wondering if the Adam's apple was what tipped them off.
