Olympic Champion Caster Semenya Has Won Her Appeal To Challenge Athletics' Testosterone Rules

Tuesday, 11 July 2023 11:33

The South African was forced by a 2019 World Athletics rule to take medication to suppress her testosterone levels.

Two-time Olympic champion Caster Semenya has won her appeal at the European Court of Human Rights to challenge athletics' testosterone rules.

The South African, who won 800-metre gold in 2012 and 2016, was forced by a 2019 World Athletics rule to take medication to suppress her testosterone levels.

That meant she was unable to defend her title at the Tokyo Games.

A World Athletics' statement says that it notes the court's decision but until a final ruling is made the current regulations will stand.
