Olympic "Women's" Basketball

[Reason2succeed]

So I'm watching Team USA women's basketball game and quickly I began questioning how do they know that these women are really women. I googled it and found that my suspicion was not unfounded. The Olympics realizes that there are "women" with genetic abnormalities.

There was an article I saw the other day where they were talking about the fact that all 3 medalists in the women's 800M could potentially end up being intersex. Really interesting issue. To me the transgender stuff is easy; compete with the sex that you are born. A little more complicated than that with the intersex competitors.
