Poor Caster Semenya. Even when she wins, she loses.

Semenya will keep her gold medal, but questions about the gender of the South African middle-distance runner won't be answered publicly, even though a gender test has been administered.

Has Michael Strahan done it all? He was a New York Giants sack master extraordinaire, a Super Bowl champ, Fox-TV football analyst, TV show host, endorsement deals master, author, future Hall of Famer and an avid humanitarian who represents various grassroots charities. Well, according to Strahan, it ain't over, til it's over. So now this all-around nice guy is trying his hand at not only acting but promoting a skin care line that is specifically aimed at the average Joe.

Back in September, San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman was arrested after MTV reality show star Tila Tequila signed a citizen's arrest warrant accusing the NFLer of assault and false imprisonment. Merriman denied all of the accusations, and District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis decided not to charge him.

That doesn't mean Tequila is going away. According to the Associated Press, Tequila's attorney, Cyrus Nownejad, announced that the reality TV star is filing a $1.5 million lawsuit against Merriman, claiming assault, false imprisonment, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Klondike recently announced that its bars will have thicker chocolate shells, so they don't break as soon as you pick them up. In an effort to promote the new ice cream chocolate treats, the company recruited two of the NFL's biggest personalities, Buffalo Bills receiver Terrell Owens and Cincinnati Bengals' Chad Ochocinco, to help out. It's a contest between the two to see who has the "thicker shell." Basically, the two stars will trade disses through Klondike's Facebook page.

"I'm excited for this opportunity to slam my friend Chad," Owens said in a statement. "What would you do for a Klondike bar? How about what wouldn't Ochocinco do for attention?"

"The interesting one is very pleased to be working with Klondike," Ochocinco added. "I can eat ice cream, embarrass TO and perfect my craft all at the same time...while still looking good. POW!"

The competition started last week with Ochocinco taking the first week to trash Owens, and he got in some pretty good jabs. Our favorites so far?

REDSKIN - (Red-skin) n. (contemptuous) a North American Indian.

Straight from the 'Oxford American' dictionary, a single word in the definition of the word "redskin" tells the reader all he needs to know about the name of Washington, D.C.'s football team.

CONTEMPTUOUS.

That means used with a lack of respect, a sense of loathing and to despise.

The powers that be would never allow an anti-black, anti-gay or anti-white term to be used in a sports team name, but when it comes to Native Americans, the regular rules of civility and common decency don't seem to apply.

San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson has had a pretty tough season on the field so far. NFL pundits have been saying that LT is washed up and that his career is nearing its end.

In the game against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend, though, Tomlinson ran for 96 yards, surpassing Thurman Thomas and Franco Harris for 12th place on the NFL's all-time rushing list, with 12,145 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 146 for his career, which surpasses Marcus Allen for third place on the all-time list.

So what was the motivator? According to AOL Fanhouse, LT received a special gift from his wife, LaTorsha, moments before taking the field.

Tomlinson found it in front of his locker at Qualcomm Stadium, a decorative purple bag -- "TCU colors," he explained later -- tied with a bow. The attached note implored, "Please Open Immediately - LaTorsha." Inside was a box, and it contained a pregnancy test. A positive test.

"My wife is pregnant," Tomlinson said. "It was weird. I thought it was going to be a necklace or something. But it was a pregnancy test in there. It was pretty special. Years ago, we lost a child, so we've been trying again. God works in mysterious ways, and it's a blessing we're pregnant again."

LeBron James has been wearing No. 23 on his jersey since 10th grade. Now he's looking to give it up. Last week, King James announced that next season he'll be wearing No. 6 and giving up No. 23 to honor Michael Jordan for being the greatest basketball player of all time. He thinks that everyone in the NBA should do the same and that the league should retire the number. Far-fetched? LeBron is serious about it.

"I just think what Michael Jordan has done for the game has to be recognized some way soon," James told ESPN. "There would be no LeBron James, no Kobe Bryant, no Dwyane Wade if there wasn't Michael Jordan first. He can't get the logo [Hall of Famer Jerry West's silhouette adorns the NBA's logo], and if he can't, something has to be done. I feel like no NBA player should wear 23. I'm starting a petition, and I've got to get everyone in the NBA to sign it. Now, if I'm not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it."
