I wonder if Shawn Ray is interested?

http://sports.yahoo.com/sa/news?slug=ap-buschbaumretires&prov=ap&type=lgnsBuschbaum announced this week that she is retiring from track and field and that she will become a man."I feel as if I am a man and have to live my life in the body of a woman," Buschbaum said in a statement on her Web site. (The statement has been translated from German to English.) "I am aware of the fact that transsexuality is a fringe issue, and I do not want to be responsible for it remaining on the fringe."Although gender reassignment will likely involve Buschbaum taking hormones that are on the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of banned substances, Buschbaum says she has not taken any performance-enhancing drugs during her athletic career. "I do not dope," she said.
