Semenya wins major court fight over hormonal therapy: Former 800m world champion Caster Semenya has won her appeal against a ban on her from competing in the two-lapper and other middle distances track disciplines.

On Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in Semenya's favour after she had appealed against the ban imposed by World Athletics which had decided that her natural testosterone levels were too high for a female athlete.

In 2018, the athletics governing body required Semenya and other female athletes to take hormone treatment to decrease their natural testosterone levels.
