Young South African women's sprinter Caster Semenya's gender has been brought in to question at the IAAF Athletics World Championships in Berlin.
Pics: Is Semenya a man?
The 18-year-old 800m contender is a newcomer on to the world athletics scene and has turned heads with her muscular build and traces of facial hair.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the IAAF is testing the athlete in an attempt to confirm her sex. She will undergo physical checks as well as a genetic screening.
IAAF rules are explicit in stating athletes must be entirely female to compete in women's races.
Officials were scheduled to meet overnight Tuesday Australian time, to decide whether the teenager would be able to compete in the 800m final on Wednesday.
The powerfully-built runner easily won her semi-final on Monday evening.
