SOUTH AFRICA’S sports minister, Reverend Makhenkesi Stofile, has threatened a “third world war” should the International Association of Athletics Federations ban world champion Caster Semenya.

As far as Semenya’s father is concerned, Caster is his girl, writes Dan Buckley.

The mother of new 800 metres world champion Caster Semenya has no doubt over her child's gender and claims she is not worried despite an official IAAF investigation being launched to look into the matter.

Tighe Caster looks set to get a run in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham on Saturday and be in the handicap proper.
