As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Blimey, you're right!
Just Googled it (fuck off, Frank! ) and Richard Raskind was given permission to enter the 1976 US Open as Renee Richards after sex reassignment surgery!
So, basically we had to endure years of Tim fucking Henman losing to Sampras in the Wimbledon semi's when he should have done the patriotic thing, had a sex change, and compete for the womens title! - selfish bastard

Athletic's (in my opinion) has decended into farce...with some bright light like Usain Bolt the saving grace. Not an Olympics nor events passes without a drugs scandal and then because of Political Correctness an amputee, who needs special legs he has for racing, which in turn gives him an advantage, wants to run in the able bodied Olumpics, which will then discredit the Special Olympics.
As for Semenya, if she is intersex, even if only a few suffer from it, unfortubately should NOT be allowed to run but as usual common sense will nor prevail.
