Interesting article that implies its not all is as it seems..
"A similar thing happened to the Namibian runner Christine Mboma. In Mboma case she grew up as a girl and a woman, found she was good at running, went into competition and discovered after being tested before the Tokyo Games that she was producing a large amount of testosterone, could not have children and would now live with this previously unknown condition.
She competed and won 200m silver in Tokyo but her subsequent ban from competition when World Athletics changed its rules feels odd in a certain light, a case of Sebastian Coe and pals taking it on themselves to define what a woman is allowed to be, not just on the outside but also on the inside. Mbomba, it could be argued, simply has an innate physical capacity, as Usain Bolt has.
This may or may not be the case with Lin. No one knows if she, like Mboma, is what elite sport calls a DSD athlete, which means a person with a different, less linear personal biology, that may convey certain performance advantages"
All these top sports people are freaks in some way compared with the population in general. And Coe insisting that Mboma had to take drugs to reduce her natural testosterone levels if she wants to compete just seems total bonkers.
