Update: Santhi Soundarajan

"...It was the biggest shock of my life. The shock is still there in my mind...It ended my sports career. I even attempted suicide in 2007 by taking poison...It was a mental torture..Everybody would think that I am not a good sports person... it was as if I had committed a crime...I still feel sad. And that's why I want Semenya should be treated with honor. She's a good athlete..Don't reject (withdraw) her medal. She should be allowed to run (as a woman)." --- The Hermaphrodite Santhi Soundarajan submits an emotional plea to media outlets in support of fellow athlete Caster Semenya. Santhi was stripped of her Olympic medals after her gender test results were leaked to the media. Santhi is giving back to her community by training 65 aspiring Gold Olympic medalist within India.

  1. Santhi is no longer allowed to train athletes… She became very poor.
