On Mboma and Masilingi, it strikes me that it would be rare for two teenagers to make a finals in the 200m, let alone for both of them to come from Namibia, even less so for them to be from the same school. Then add the fact that they are both classified as DSD, and my mind struggles to understand the probability of it. Are there any exogneous / environmental factors that would cause DSD?
Different sources contradict on information as well. This NYT articles says they are intersex (46 XY), but other sources seem to contradict.

Ps - no judgment on them from me. I am just trying to understand further.
