The female athlete identified as Shieys Jepkosgei loved working as a nurse at the Moi Referral Hospital before he was exposed for being a man.

“She was critically checked and found to have a male sexual organ. He was referred back to court and now remanded at Eldoret Police station for ten days with the names Hillary Rotich pending further interrogation,” said a statement from the police.

Jepkosgey was returned to the court where the suspect revealed that he was a man and his actual name was Hillary Kiprotich but liked identifying himself as a woman.

When she first started her job at the hospital, she took to Facebook and wrote:

"I don't work for money I work for a call[ing] and am so happy to save the life of other people God help me thank-you."

Police said her Kenyan passport and national identity cards bear the names Shieys Chepkosgey which she has been using for as an athlete and participated in many races across the world.

Here are photos of Sheiys as a woman.
