Caster Semenya has officially become the golden girl of South African sport.But her Olympic 800m triumph is certain to further inflame the scientific and ethical storm about whether she, as an intersex athlete, should be allowed to compete with women.Semenya, whose body has been subjected to brutal and unprecedented scrutiny for years, claimed her first Olympic gold medal in Rio on Saturday night.She was a full two seconds short of breaking Jarmila Kratochvilovas 33-year-old world record, but still posted the fastest two-lap time this year of one minute 55.28 seconds.After blazing through her heat and semi-final, Semenya had the final comfortably covered.The 25-year-old put her foot down on the final bend and surged ahead to leave Burundis Francine Niyonsaba (1:56.49) with silver and Kenyas Margaret Wambui (1:56.89) with bronze.Yet even as a proud Semenya completed her victory lap draped in the South African flag, she did so under the weight of an issue that transcends sport.Since the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled last year there was no conclusive scientific proof that elevated testosterone provides women with a significant competitive edge, the South African has been allowed to compete without the medication that suppressed her naturally occurring elevated testosterone levels to that considered normal for female athletes.She has subsequently dominated in a manner reminiscent of her astonishing 800m world title in Berlin seven years ago, the trigger for her forced gender testing and outing as intersex.Only hours before Saturdays race, IAAF president Sebastian Coe reiterated the organisation intended to take the case back to CAS.That both Niyonsaba and Wambui have also been the subject of scrutiny about whether they too have the same condition, hyperandrogenism, only further ignites the fire.Many of Semenyas rivals did not want to address the issue post-race.Its out of my control, theres nothing I can do about it, said Great Britains Lynsey Sharp, who came sixth.Its up to the people at the top. Thats all I can say. Trent Williams Womens Jersey .

SAN DIEGO -- After losing to Stephen Strasburg on Thursday night and then blowing an extra-inning game Friday night, the San Diego Padres righted themselves rather nicely against the defending NL East champion Washington Nationals. Andrew Cashner pitched 6 2-3 strong innings and Kyle Blanks and Will Venable homered off Dan Haren to lead the Padres to a 13-4 victory Sunday and a split of their four-game series. "Its huge. They have probably one of the best rotations in baseball, let alone lineups," Cashner said. "Thats a really, really good team over there. After we lost the first two we definitely played better the last two games." After Eric Stults outpitched Jordan Zimmermann on Saturday night, the Padres got to Haren early on Sunday. The Padres tied their season high in runs and their 15 hits against four Nationals pitchers were two short of their season high. "It was good to bounce back in beating Zimmermann, who is arguably the best pitcher in the National League right now. That was a big win last night," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "Then to come back today against Haren, whos a great competitor. We got to him early and got him there in the middle part of the game with a couple big swings. Good for our guys. It was a good win." San Diegos Yonder Alonso homered off Drew Storen leading off the eighth to finish 3 for 4 with two RBIs and three runs scored. It was his sixth homer. Everth Cabrera and rookie Jedd Gyorko each had two hits, two RBIs and two runs scored. Cabrera had three stolen bases to give him a major league-leading 18. "Were swinging really good right now and were seeing the ball so good right now," Cabrera said. "It feels great. Im happy." Cashner (3-2) allowed three runs and seven hits, struck out six and walked one. He retired the first seven Nationals batters and the Padres jumped on Haren for three runs in the first. "Cash carried that momentum all the way through the game," Black said. "I thought he did a nice job with the fastball-change combination. He wobbled very little. I thought he was in control of the game and pitched very well." The Nationals have lost six of nine. Haren (4-5) got off to a rough start by allowing three runs in the first inning and was gone after the fourth-run fifth. Haren allowed nine hits while striking out five and walking two. With the Padres leading 3-2, Venable opened the fifth with a shot deep into thee stands in right field, his sixth.dddddddddddd Haren retired the next two batters before Alonso doubled to left-centre and scored on Gyorkos single to left. Blanks then lined Harens next pitch an estimated 383 feet off the side of the Western Metal Supply Co. brick warehouse in the left-field corner for a 7-2 lead. It was his third. "Way too many mistakes," Haren said. "I didnt feel good out there. I didnt have much. I made a bunch of mistakes in the first inning. I kept it close for a while but you cant keep leaving balls out over the plate to a professional lineup. I kept fighting myself. I was working behind in the count too much, which is a recipe for disaster." The Padres scored three runs against Haren in the first on three hits and a walk. Carlos Quentin and Gyorko had RBI doubles and Alonso a sacrifice fly. The Nationals pulled to 3-2 in the fourth on Ryan Zimmermans two-run homer that went an estimated 414 feet into the second deck in left, his third. Steve Lombardozzi was aboard on a leadoff infield single after his hard smash went off Cashners glove. Cashner was knocked backward by the impact. He stayed in the game. The Padres scored five runs on four hits, two walks and a sacrifice fly off Ryan Mattheus in the seventh. Cabrera had a two-run single. "Very disappointing," Washington manager Davey Johnson said. "I hate to even talk about that one today. We didnt pitch very well. We got back in the ballgame but Haren obviously didnt have his stuff. The bullpen didnt do it. Tough day." NOTES: The Padres had a season-high five stolen bases. ... Washingtons Adam LaRoche hit an RBI single in the seventh to extend his career-best hitting streak to 16 games. ... Nationals OF Bryce Harper sat out a second straight game with a bruised left knee from his collision with the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium last Monday night. ....
