    Wouldn't living in an oceanfront resort town result in more hot chicks than ugly?

    Sadly, no. Maybe if we could chase some of the damn tourists away ...

    Hm. Note to self: More sharks. And soon.

    Since she can go both ways, I say let her keep the medal and not be allowed to race any more unless she has surgery to correct her problem. That would seem like the fair thing to do.

    The story says that the condition is life-threatening. I was not aware of that.

    Is there a surgery that corrects the no womb, no ovaries, internal testicles problem?

    Stoney, this wasn't a man-made thing. That's why I say let her, him, it, whatever you want to call this person, keep the medal and the record. It sound like a very sad story, especially since its life-threatening.

    I am sure there is. I am not certain what options you have in that case, however.

    What's next? Are we going to start testing the men who come in last to see if they're actually women?
