According the IAAF its not that simple

BBC SPORT | Athletics | Semenya told to take gender test

I thought it would be easy .. if she got womens bits then shes a woman .. if fellas bits a man .. wouldnt that be easier ..

The gender verification test is an extremely complex procedure. The situation today is that we do not have any conclusive evidence that she should not be allowed to run."

A group of doctors, including an endocrinologist, a gynaecologist, an internal medicine expert, an expert on gender and a psychologist, have started the testing procedure but it is uncertain when the results will be known.

thats from that link ..
