interesting read, and really makes you think about where to place her/him...or whatever. i don't even know what the legal description for her is...i mean, her birth certificate says boy.
the olympics commitee cleared her to race for CAN if she qualifies. i heard she's on the national team, but i'm not sure if she qualified for Greece.
