Caster Semenya, the 2009 world champion in the women's 800 meters, is hoping to compete in a meet on Tuesday, the first time she will have run since the world championships. Semenya is a the center of a gender controversy after many opponents thought she might be a man due to rapid improvement and muscle definition. The IAAF is still reviewing her gender test results. She is not formally banned from running but has agreed not to compete until test results are released. My opinion: just let the girl run.
Track and Field's Diamond League, a new series of summer meets, begins in May. It has been confirmed that Asafa Powell and Usain Bolt will race each other in Paris in July. Tyson Gay, Kenenisa Bekele, Yelena Isinbayeva, Sanya Richards and Blanka Vlasic have also committed to compete.
It is rumored that Bridget Sloan is making a recruitment visit to Georgia. I can see her as a Gym Dawg.
Top American male luger Tony Benshoof is undergoing spinal surgery for the second time in 15 months. He will make no decisions about his future in racing until after surgery.
