Caster Semenya offered to show her vagina to athletics chiefs to prove she is female

Semenya, 31, should by right be renowned as a great within her sport, having won back-to-back Olympic gold medals in London 2012 and then Rio 2016. The South African is also a three-time world champion and Commonwealth Games winner over the distance.
