The Court of Arbitration for Sport will rule Wednesday on South African athlete Caster Semenya’s challenge against new IAAF rules designed to regulate testosterone levels in female athletes.
World champion Semenya is challenging an International Association of Athletics Federations ruling seeking to force so-called “hyperandrogenic” athletes or those with “differences of sexual development” to seek treatment to lower their testosterone levels below a prescribed amount if they wish to continue competing as women.
Double Olympic champion Semenya, who has dominated the women’s 800 metres over the last decade, took her fight to the world’s top sports court which initially said it would announce a decision in March before the parties filed additional documents.
