Medal Winning Female Chinese Athlete Xiao Finds Out She’s A Man
XIAO Nan, of Chengdu, China, was big success as a female Chinese athlete on the student circuit. Says she:
“Being a champion was never a happy thing to me. Standing on the podium made me feel guilty, and I always thought the real champion should have been the one standing next to me.”
Because, like many men, Xioa is a good loser.
Says he:
“I felt I often had an impulse or desire for women instead of men. And my body is more like a man than a woman.”
A trip to the doctors. And her male chromosomes are spotted.
She has begun a course of sex change surgery at Sichuan Xichan Plastic Surgery Hospital. She tells the Chengdu Business Daily:
“The first thing I want to do after the surgery is to go swimming, wearing only boxer shorts.”
Like those girls in Faliraki…
Other transsexual sportspersons:
Renee Richards – formerly Richard Raskind, who played on the women’s tennis tour in the 1970s.
Mianne Bagger became the first transsexual to play in a pro golf tournament.
Michelle Dumaresq, formerly Michael, has competed in mountain bike racing for Canada.
Andreas Krieger –
…perhaps the most dramatic victim of the drugs, said: “Why can’t the company put this kind of money into a fund to help the victims?” Out of thousands of athletes who were given Oral- Turinabol, an anabolic steroid that was nicknamed the “blue bean”, an estimated 800 developed serious ailments. The case against Jenapharm is scheduled to begin next month and has been sponsored by 160 of the athletes who are claiming damages of €17,000 each.
Krieger is a gruff-voiced 40-year-old man who is married to another sporting victim, the athlete Ute Krause. In 1986, however, he was a she, Heidi Kreiger, the shotputter who won the European Championships with an astonishing put of 21.10m. The championships were held in Stuttgart, West Germany, and the East Berlin regime was determined to beat the Western capitalists in all disciplines.
Now athletes have better drugs to cheat with and don’t need to tamper with their sex…
