Indian
authorities investigating a rape case say a sprinter who won a women’s
relay gold medal at the 2006 Asian Games is actually a man.
Police
charged Pinki Pramanik on Monday with raping and assaulting a woman she
was living with in the eastern state of West Bengal. The woman alleged
Pramanik was a man who had reneged on a promise to marry her.
Indian
authorities said an eight-member medical board submitted a gender test
along with the charge sheet that concluded Pramanik was genetically
male.
Pramanik
has denied the charges, calling them a “huge conspiracy,” and said that
contrary to the police claims, the medical report concluded that she
was incapable of committing rape, New Delhi Television reported.
