CASTER SEMENYA IS ALL WOMAN ON THE COVER OF YOLI MAGAZINE


The 18-year-old runner, who faced accusations of being a man after winning gold at the world championships in Berlin last month, has been given a glossy makeover.'I am who I am and I am proud of myself. I see it all as a joke, it doesn't upset me. God made me the way I am and I accept myself...'

The controversy over her gender, which has angered many in South Africa, emerged after she took gold in the women's 800 metres.

She is awaiting results of gender tests but said she was not bothered about the row overshadowing her win. And there are some compensations. Oprah Winfrey has invited her to star on her chat show.

I hope getting a make over made her feel good.
