Carl Lewis says to Athletics South Africa: "This is all your fault."

SHOOT: I tend to agree with Carl, but not sure if Semenya should be allowed to keep the gold medal. It depends on whether she objectively had an unfair advantage or not, and it seems she did based on trstosterone levels and other alleged findings thus far.

clipped from www.sowetan.co.za Lewis said he was upset by the handling of the affair. “Here is an 18-year-old young woman, because that’s what she feels she is, let down every step along the way... the South African federation should have dealt with it and I think the federation let her down.” Lewis was speaking during on a visit to Tel Aviv on Monday. “It is your fault,” he said accusingly to the South African athletics federation. “She is your athlete in your country and you didn’t deal with this before. “To put it out in front of the world like that, I am very disappointed in them because I feel that it is unfair to her.” “Now, for the rest of her life she’ll be marked as ‘the one’.” Lewis said he thought Semenya, who destroyed the field in Berlin to win in one minute, 55,45 seconds, the year’s fastest time, a personal best and a national record, should be allowed to keep her gold medal.
