Bob Costas didn't tell us what bathroom it uses.

This is an interesting debate, to be honest. These are not guys that "identify" as women.  They were born with two X chromosomes AND a Y.  I totally agree that it's not fair to the women they compete against, as they produce more testosterone.  It's also not fair to them to ban them, as they were born with female anatomy.  I tend to side with being fair to the majority in this situation, as there are gender divisions in sports because of the obvious advantage that testosterone creates, but this is certainly a far more complicated issue than simply saying "a dude just won the 800".

The Germans were doping.  These women are competing the way they were naturally born.  I'm not saying it's fair, but they aren't cheating.

The Germans in the 30s had a man entered in the high jump against women.

They were banned from competition after their tests showed their testosterone levels were 3 times a normal woman's level.  They sued then were allowed to compete as long as they took estrogen.  Shockingly when they took estrogen they didn't win the races!  

They sued again and now they can run against whoever they want so no one is offended.  I'm not sure how you know what the do or don't have between their legs since it is a medical exam and has never been released.  On another note, The person that won looks just like RG3.

This is a good article about doping in women's track in the past.  The record holder looks like a dude also.

I know they were thoroughly examined by doctors, so if they were packing heat, they would've been banned completely.  Regardless, they were not cheating.  Their testosterone occurs naturally.  As I said before, I don't think they should be allowed to compete with the women, but it's unfair to compare them to dopers.

I didn't compare them to dopers.  I compared them to men.
