    It was obvious from the beginning, to me anyway, that ASA was the real fuck up here, not IAAF. IAAF was right to ask for an inquiry into Semenya, and ASA is the one who lied to the world (and to Semenya herself), and allowed Semenya to compete even though they knew she would be questioned.

    It's really sad that she will likely not be able to compete against women any more, but I still think it would be even MORE unfair to the other women who would have to compete against someone with exponentially more testosterone. #leonardchuenesuspended

    I'm just glad it's not an Olympic year, and that this can pass so that (hopefully) it's not (or at least only a small) part of the discussion when she goes for gold in London. Athletes are the subject of enough scrutiny; no athlete needs this type of scrutiny. #leonardchuenesuspended

    Oh, so a (very late) apology, and a (*) suspension, and all's forgiven, right? The (*) is meant to indicate the probably embarassingly paltry nature of the actual suspension. Like he's probably still getting paid and all. Lame. Way to fail, people. I'd like to take Caster out for a beer and make her laugh until her belly hurts. I have a feeling she could use some of that after being dragged through such utter shit. #leonardchuenesuspended

    yes, I'm sure the apology will undo the stress, scrutiny and humiliation this girl was subjected to.

    although, i dont know what else they CAN do. other than making sure this shit doesnt happen again. #leonardchuenesuspended

    @shorty63136: The Games will be in Vancouver in winter. The torch-lighting ceremony was today, in Olympia Greece.
    Or maybe you got that and I have no sense of humour today (?) #olympicflame

    @shorty63136: Well... it's coming over to Victoria by plane, and then will be run on a relay, kilometre by kilometre, through every Province and Territory in Canada, by people who applied to be part of the relay, before it gets to the Opening Ceremonies on Feb. 12.

    More than you probably needed to know! #olympicflame
