On tonight’s The Informer, Ruby and Sarah cover the recent resurgence of the problematic issue of gender testing women athletes. The IAFF will challenge the ruling that suspended the testing and monitoring of testosterone in female athletes with Hyper Androgenism.

This statement was made in regards to Caster Semenya, the South Aftrican runner who was cleared by the IAAF to compete in 2010 after an 11 month investigation.

We are joined by Stephen Kerry. lecturer in Sociology from Charles Darwin university.
