When 18-year-old South African runner Caster Semenya entered the world stage in 2009, her championship was not celebrated, but tainted by doubt and her personal medical records leaked to the international media. The public scrutiny of her body, driven by racism and sexism, questioning the most fundamental right of who she is, a great champion. Phyllis Ellis exposes a male-controlled industry that puts women's lives at risk, while this policing of women's bodies in sport remains, in a more nefarious form, under the guise of fair play.
