		<title>Uptown Magazine: ‘You don’t run like a girl&#8230;’ As the 2012 Summer Games draw near, the debate about gender testing heats up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A former Canadian Olympian thinks gender testing in sport should be abolished and wants Canada to publicly declare its opposition to the practice before the start of the 2012 Summer Games, now less than six months away.

Bruce Kidd, a professor in the faculty of physical education and health at the University of Toronto, was once a national track-and-field star; named "Athlete of the Year" in 1961 and 1962 by the Canadian Press, he competed in the Men’s 5,000 race at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, finishing ninth in the first round’s first heat.]]></description>

		<title>TED &#8211; TALKS/TED PARTNER SERIES &#8211; Aimee Mullins: The opportunity of adversity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The thesaurus might equate "disabled" with synonyms like "useless" and "mutilated," but ground-breaking runner Aimee Mullins is out to redefine the word.

		<title>THE &#8220;PROPER&#8221; GENDER OF ATHLETES &#8211; Presentation at &#8220;Play the Game&#8221; conference 2011 by GEORG FACIUS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[THE "PROPER" GENDER OF ATHLETES - Presentation at "Play the Game" conference 2011 by GEORG FACIUS - DENMARK

Gender verification is a serious issue, actually a dead serious issue, and is has a long and sad history within sport.

But let me start by mentioning two very recent initiatives related to the gender issue in sport.

Earlier this year the “Court of Arbitration for Sport” has approved jurisdiction to take on a legal case against the International Olympic Committee, under the headline: “Human Rights and the Oppression of Women´s Gender in International Sport”. The outcome of this may very well bring about one of the biggest changes of all times in international sport.]]></description>
