Caster Semenya. Picture: REUTERSThe Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland has ordered international athletics body IAAF to suspend its female eligibility regulations with immediate effect, her lawyers said in a statement.
Semenya appealed against the Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision to allow the IAAF to implement its female eligibility regulations, which require athletes with difference of sex development to take medication to lower their high levels of naturally occurring testosterone. “This is an important case that will have fundamental implications for the human rights of female athletes.”
“I am thankful to the Swiss judges for this decision,” Semenya said in the statement. “I hope that following my appeal I will once again be able to run free.”
