How Did the Truth Arise?

This is funny:

Zimbabwean sporting authorities were this week shocked to discover that one of the country's top female athletes is actually a man.The discovery came when multiple medal winner Samukeliso Sithole was outed as a man while waiting with friends for a train at the Zimbabwean railway station, the Herald reported. Melita Mudondiro, a fellow athlete has filed charges of crimen injuria and impersonation against Sithole, saying she had frequently dressed and undressed in front of him, believing he was a woman.Sithole was subsequently arrested in the Midlands chrome-producing city of Kwekwe, where a government doctor confirmed he was male. However, the athlete claims he was born with both male and female genitals. He told a Kwekwe court that his parents had consulted a traditional healer in the eastern district of Chipinge and the healer had provided herbs which made him female.

I guess the athletes from the former East Germany should've used this approach. Ah, but the truth always comes out:

However because his parents had only paid half the fee due to the healer, his male genitalia had reappeared. In fact, he said, on the day that he appeared in court he had been due to pay the settlement amount and if he had been able to do this, his male genitalia would have gone away again.
