That's a good idea! Floffe Send a noteboard - 11/09/2009 07:17:20 PM
Seriously guys, this is likely to be a massive psychological deal for her, can't the IAAF just let the world leave her alone?

Right, I've said that. With the medal, I think it depends on whether she knew or not. Doesn't matter if anyone else knew, if she didn't know about this she should be allowed to keep her medal. As for the record, that I think should be abolished. Being able to keep the medal is enough.

Treat it like too strong winds in sprints or long jump, no record but the result is still valid for that competition.

I think revoking the championship and a ban at this point would be plain wrong LadyLorraine - 11/09/2009 02:01:15 PM 755 Views
Well said. Lupine - 11/09/2009 02:10:31 PM 739 Views

I agree. *NM* @my - 11/09/2009 03:20:05 PM 374 Views
I agree it's not her fault, but she shouldn't keep her championship. Aemon - 11/09/2009 03:50:06 PM 715 Views
Possibly a quibble, but just trying to clarify... Sareitha Sedai - 11/09/2009 05:15:52 PM 814 Views
It makes sense StarEnight - 13/09/2009 05:04:23 PM 760 Views
I disagree Сталин - 11/09/2009 04:09:50 PM 1079 Views
As bad as if feel for the athlete, I agree. *NM* ironclad - 11/09/2009 04:46:57 PM 352 Views
Ditto. Assuming she never knew about it, which remains to be seen. *NM* Wibble - 11/09/2009 08:08:29 PM 333 Views
To the extent that LadyLorraine means "at this point", I do agree with her... Sareitha Sedai - 11/09/2009 05:03:34 PM 807 Views
Sounds like she/he is more dude than chick..... trzaska2000 - 11/09/2009 02:42:33 PM 807 Views
not really. it only takes ONE mistake to cause her problems. LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:19:06 AM 747 Views
It's not that simple with DNA either. Legolas - 12/09/2009 10:38:28 AM 842 Views
no it's not as simple as "XX" and "XY" LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:02:03 PM 773 Views
I think it is a sad story random thoughts - 11/09/2009 04:34:29 PM 810 Views
I agree. everynametaken - 11/09/2009 09:20:35 PM 848 Views
I like I said, tragic random thoughts - 11/09/2009 09:34:57 PM 719 Views
I can't believe this whole thing is public Monkey - 11/09/2009 07:03:59 PM 844 Views
That's a good idea! Floffe - 11/09/2009 07:17:20 PM 746 Views
Yeah, seems fair. Medal, no record. Legolas - 11/09/2009 07:57:38 PM 696 Views
How could she not know something was different? Not developing a period would be a major sign. *NM* everynametaken - 11/09/2009 09:21:54 PM 347 Views
Not necessarily, depending on the rigors of her athletic training. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 11/09/2009 09:26:32 PM 325 Views
When do most girls get their first period? Around 12 or 13? everynametaken - 12/09/2009 07:34:23 AM 664 Views
Yes, but 14 or 15 isn't out of the ordinary *NM* Floffe - 12/09/2009 11:23:09 AM 345 Views
I didn't start until I was 17 *NM* LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:02:28 PM 326 Views
That is a bit unusual. *shrugs* *NM* everynametaken - 13/09/2009 01:17:18 AM 337 Views
starting THAT late is, yes LadyLorraine - 13/09/2009 04:24:44 AM 936 Views
There are plenty of runners who do hard training that keeps them from getting a regular period Floffe - 11/09/2009 09:29:24 PM 771 Views
I'd say so too. Periods have a lot to do with % body fat. Lupine - 12/09/2009 12:28:46 AM 858 Views
Not at the age when a girl first develops her period. everynametaken - 12/09/2009 07:36:24 AM 753 Views
You have an odd understanding of what's normal... Lupine - 12/09/2009 02:51:37 PM 800 Views
And you are still missing the point. everynametaken - 13/09/2009 01:18:54 AM 700 Views
And you're missing the point Sareitha Sedai - 13/09/2009 01:39:46 AM 733 Views
What Sareitha said. Lupine - 13/09/2009 03:50:05 AM 888 Views
people develop 30lb tumors and never go to get them checked out random thoughts - 11/09/2009 09:36:18 PM 787 Views
Well, now that you put it that way I guess I could see that. *NM* everynametaken - 12/09/2009 07:37:18 AM 324 Views
Not that rare in athletes. Tashmere - 12/09/2009 01:06:27 AM 693 Views
like i said in my first post LadyLorraine - 12/09/2009 03:25:04 AM 770 Views
I like that idea. That is the most sensible solution. *NM* Tashmere - 12/09/2009 01:07:42 AM 309 Views
This whole thing has been handled disgracefully Sidious - 12/09/2009 12:37:35 PM 878 Views
Considering that similar questions have arisen before Sareitha Sedai - 13/09/2009 01:43:18 AM 916 Views
