Christine Mboma was with the duo's coach, Henk Botha, travelling back to their training camp in Italy. When their plane landed, Botha received a call from Namibia's Olympic Committee relaying the news. By the time he was able to call Beatrice Masilingi, his other trainee, she had already found out from social media.
The revelation came as a shock to both athletes. Neither of them had been tested before, and they had no reason to think their hormone levels were not within the typical range.

Real stupid- I found out- why is she being allowed to run the 200
This year, Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi of Namibia were banned from participating in the 400 meter race due to their naturally high testosterone levels. The two runners can still participate in the 200 meters because track’s testosterone rules only apply to longer distance races. In other words, the pair qualify as female when they are running shorter distances, but they are not officially female when running between 400 meters and a mile

The testosterone test only bans them from 400/800/1500m. They can participate in 100m, 200m, 5000m, etc.
Niyonsaba ran in the 5000m.
Chand, Mboma and Seyni have all run in the 200m.
It takes someone with more scientific knowledge than me to explain this distinction!

Did you see how she run down Gabby?

Poor technique yet 'flying' can you imagine if she gets it right?

It's wonky as hell, frankly. The arbiters of T&F have some 'splaining to do.
