This would not necessarily be televised in the U.S. but that is OK, there are other categories.<br /><br />The second category should be the "standard" Olympic competition, the athletes could compete clothed and shod (but within regulation) and good take some booster drugs before the event (but clearly defined and well publicized), but with super aggressive enforcement.<br /><br />The thrid category would be "assisted", meaning that the athletes would have access to extra equipment and extra drugs, but the idea would be that they would be using them to overcome injuries and illnesses that occurred right before the Olympics, or circumstances that would have kept them otherwise from competing through no fault of their own, such as the case of Pistorious (and the booste in the "assisted competition wold not be that great". Any of the "assisted" drugs and equipment would be public knowledge and would not give a net advantage for fully healthy and able-bodied athletes.<br /><br />The fourth category would be "enhanced", which would be pretty much anything goes as long as it was disclosed (and sometimes not even them), the athlete was recognizable on television, and it was stlll something of a contest. Doping and implanted devices galore as long as you were open about it.<br /><br />I suspect that for each sport, it would be a different ly evel out of the four that it would be important to win every four years.<br /><br />I think this scheme is fair to the athletes and am improvement at least aesthetically to the fans, which means that it doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell of being adopted.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-89050629890254054402012-08-15T19:33:16.312-07:002012-08-15T19:33:16.312-07:00"The only avenue open to a billion Chinese in..."The only avenue open to a billion Chinese in the 100 meter dash is in the Special Olympics."<br /><br />Or, you know, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_2004_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_110_metres_hurdles" rel="nofollow"> the 110m hurdles.</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-87245257342185231762012-08-15T19:08:34.812-07:002012-08-15T19:08:34.812-07:00They have no problems with bulldykes competing, bu...They have no problems with bulldykes competing, but make a fuss about that ladyboy?<br /><br />Jim Thorpe was Greatest Athlete of the 20th Century and he peed sitting down.

S/he wasn't discovered by some homophobic bigot jogging along the path to his/her village and tricked into becoming a world figure. S/she sought the spotlight.<br /><br /><i>"She will spend her life as neither fully male nor fully female."</i><br /><br />Depending on what s/he wants, that could be a problem or not. It might even be an advantage--in fact, it seems that it has been so far.<br /><br /><i>"Even if she manages to find a long-term partner of whatever gender, despite all the odds against it, she will never have children."</i><br /><br />If you mean s/he will never bear or sire children, you're probably right. That doesn't rule out adoption. And s/he might not want children anyway. Nowadays you can read about transgendered celebs, a woman who became a man who had artificial insemination and bore several children, etc. I imagine that Semenya's freakishness is less of a liability now than at any time previously.<br /><br /><i>"The loser in this scenario is not Ekaterina Poistogova."</i><br /><br />Oh, yes it is, Ekaterina and every other woman who ran in a women's sporting event with a competitor who is not, strictly speaking, a woman and who therefore had an unfair competitive edge.Kylienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-21971789249531510082012-08-15T18:14:43.467-07:002012-08-15T18:14:43.467-07:00I mean, other than that they are so delicious?

However that hasn't saved the squid.<br /><br />Squid may be the smartest creatures in the sea - and that includes whales and dolphins. Dolphins get their own advocacy groups because they seem to be nice. Whereas squid are said to be nasty.<br /><br />In the slightly longer run all human food will be artificial, Taste and texture are still to be worked out but there are plenty of people working on these right now.<br /><br />Personally I don't care about killing food animals. But others have more tender feelings. I would welcome artificial sushi. No more anxiety about liver flukes.

Do you think the 100 sprint is a test for blackness or speed? How does it even make sense then men would want to test specifically for manliness yet intentionally make women half the competitors? When would men dress in drag to compete and increase their manliness...?!?<br /><br />"In the conventional narrative, men conspire to keep women from playing sports, but history reveals that a lot of masculine ingenuity has been devoted to persuading women to try the sports that men love."<br /><br />One, its not an either or. Two, the women who play the sports also love the sports.<br /><br />You sound like a controlling feminist who resorts to saying that women are being manipuwated! Yet, latter you feel bad for the white women who wanted to compete...<br /><br />"In this century, who has ever gotten ahead by demanding fair play for the majority?"<br /><br />This is a contradiction. You're asking for fair play for the majority while asking tightened restrictions on a form of special Olympics, aka women's Olympics. <br /><br />Would you call black affirmative action fair play for the majority or do you only believe in affirmative action when it comes to women?<br /><br />"Elite global opinion has thus rallied to Semenya’s right to the privileges of womanhood on the newfound principle that the world must accept the claim of anybody to be any sex."<br /><br />Ok, this has absolutely nothing to do with the previous points you attempted to make, ie that the Olympics motivated by testing manliness and men pressure women into the Olympics.<br /><br />Because of this disconnect I will presume you are using smoke and mirrors to push an agenda. If want to ask why the world thinks Semenya is a woman, that's fine. But, don't bring up stuff that you hope will offend people and then tie it to you're take home message, when there is no logical relationship between them.fondueguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-41371447655286070942012-08-15T15:30:03.864-07:002012-08-15T15:30:03.864-07:00A few Scully quotes that might have you ordering a...A few Scully quotes that might have you ordering a salad tonight:<br />http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/4857.Matthew_ScullyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-29135928067283220352012-08-15T15:05:55.991-07:002012-08-15T15:05:55.991-07:00"Paul Johnson predicted 20 years ago that eve..."Paul Johnson predicted 20 years ago that eventually we would stop eating pork because pigs are the smartest animals left in the Anglo-American mainstream diet.
