Man Charged in 'Female Athlete' Scam

Zimbabwe police have charged a man with masquerading as a female athlete after he competed as a woman at several international sports events, the official Herald newspaper reported Wednesday.

The paper said the man, a triple jumper and runner who also competed at javelin and shot put, faced charges of impersonation and offending the dignity of a woman athlete who undressed in his presence not realizing he was a man.

The Herald said he won a gold medal at a regional tournament in Botswana last June and won five medals at a youth championship in Mauritius.

The man told the court at his first appearance that he had been born with both female and male organs, and that he lived as a woman after consulting a traditional healer. But the Herald said a medical examination had shown he was male.

I wonder if he is also a rugby fan.

As an aside, Ken came up with another one of those quizes: The Loser Quiz. The farting question did me in...
