Olympic champion Caster Semenya loses appeal over testosterone rules
CAPE TOWN - Olympic 800-metres champion Caster Semenya on Wednesday lost her appeal against rules that mean middle distance female athletes with high natural levels of testosterone must take medication to reduce it.
But it also voiced concern about how the new rules, which cover events ranging from 400-metres to a mile, would be implemented by the International Association of Athletics Federations , the sport’s governing body. “I will once again rise above and continue to inspire young women and athletes in South Africa and around the world.”Semenya has said she does not wish to take medication to change who she is and how she was born, and wants to compete naturally.
Professor Steve Cornelius, an advisor to the Athletics South Africa legal team, told television news channel eNCA the case could be elevated to the European Court of Justice.DISCRIMINATORY However, in the 165-page ruling, the CAS Panel expressed concerns as to the future application of the regulations.
The court suggested the regulations be limited to events between 400- and 800-metres due to a lack of evidence that testosterone has a significant effect beyond these distances.
