The Facts of Cheating or not

While we were talking about the Olympic runner who is said to have trace amounts of extra testosterone in her has made it not fair to the other women.  In my belief this is a very true because she was basically given an advantage as being more masculine and manly then actual women.  If she would have been all woman then she could have done just as well as the other runners but it is not fair that she could get away with that.  I am not blaming her, but it is an advantage on other women like what Lance Armstrong was using while winning all the races would be a good comparison.  She may not have been taking anything but testosterone was one of the things that Lance was taking making it illegal for using this drug.   It is unfortunate for the woman to not be able to compete with either sex because she is considered partially both but there is nothing they can do but make a special type of Olympics, which is kind of far fetched.  It is sad that there is nothing she can do about her situation but at the same time if there was no problem at all she could compete.  All around it is just a touchy subject for any male or female to debate on like while we were in class.  Everyone had good points that there is no side you can really take.  Personally I just think she needs to move on to other dreams and use her skills in other ways now that she is a known Icon in America, which is a huge thing in the U.S., but there is nothing we can do because she does posses such an advantage.
