BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA – One Australian DJ has finally asked Lady GaGa what everyone was thinking all along: “Are you a hermaphrodite?”

The brouhaha stems from a widely played Internet video which surfaced in early August that shows her on stage at the Glastonbury music festival in the UK and flashing an evidently male body part as she gets off a motorcycle.

A Brisbane radio show hosted by three Aussie DJs named Meshel, Ash and Tim jumped on the topic as soon as Lady GaGa told them they could ask her anything, according to couriermail.com.au.

sarah_gronert_dw_sp_618041gGERMANY – Sarah Gronert, a 22-year-old pro from Germany, finds herself under scrutiny from her opponents and their coaches, who believe that a unique gender issue from birth should make her ineligible for the woman’s tour.

MALITA, PHILIPPINES – Twins, each with male and female genitals, were born to a 25-year-old mother here on Tuesday.

Glory Jean Ferrer, the twins’ mother, gave birth to the babies at the Malita district hospital at 7 a.m., said its resident physician, Dr. Paulito Montero.

“CAF has made a ruling that before the next AWC, it will be doing medical testing before the tournament starts,” KickOffNigeria.com was informed. Read the rest of this entry »
