South African athletics boss quits over Semenya gender bender probe
2009-08-24 22:00:00
AP Photo: Anja Niedringhaus Caster Semenya has been in the news quite often over the last week since the IAAF has requested a "gender verification test." Semenya shattered the current 800m Womens race at the World Athletics Championships by almost a full second and since then has been under constant scrutiny to determine whether she is a man, a woman or something in between. Several ChicagoNow bloggers like Anna Pulley of Sex and the Windy City and Dennis Byrne over at Dennis Byrne's Barbershop have added to the conversation.  Anna thinks that because Caster is so good, they're calling her sex into question while Dennis Byrne boils it all down to race. But now, with all of the questioning...

Transaction Roundup: Athletics, Medders, Pena, German, Brower
2008-05-31 11:02:00
I woke up to a ton of small transactions this morning, so let's lead with them. In MLBTR-friendly transactions, the A's designated Lenny DiNardo and Kevin Melillo for assignment. The team made a bevy of other moves, though, recalling Travis Buck, Brad Ziegler, and Carlos Gonzalez, placing Joey Devine, Mike Sweeney, and Ryan Sweeney on the 15-day DL, and activating Kiko Calero and Eric Chavez from the DL. Brandon Medders, recently DFA by the Diamondbacks, has cleared waivers and has been assigned to AAA. Brayan Pena, recently DFA by the Braves, has been claimed by the Royals. Rangers RHP Franklyn German has refused an assignment to AAA, and will hit the free agent market. The Reds traded RHP Jim Brower to the Cubs for cash considerations. He has a double-digit major league ERA in limited time over the past two seasons. Joe Pawlikowski writes for River Ave. Blues, a Yankees blog, and can be reached here.
