Gender tests on Semenya not yet ready

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said the gender tests on South African runner Caster Semenya have not yet been completed.
The IAAF had been expected to announce its findings on Friday, but instead said it would not discuss her medical tests.
The IAAF Council is set to meet on Friday and Saturday.
The 18-year-old Semenya won the women\'s 800-meter world championship title in August in a season\'s best 1 minute, 55.45 seconds, but had her accomplishment overshadowed by gender test revelations.
Before the final, the IAAF said it had ordered gender tests be conducted on her because of her muscular build and recent rapid improvement in times.
Australian newspapers said in September that Semenya has male and female sexual organs, but the IAAF has refused to confirm or deny those reports.
