Caster Semenya looks on at the start line of the women's 800-metre during the Prefontaine Classic at Cobb Track & Angell Field on June 30, 2019 in Stanford, Calif.Double Olympic champion Caster Semenya will not defend her 800-metres title at the World Championships in September after the Swiss Federal Tribunal reversed a ruling that temporarily lifted the IAAF’s testosterone regulations imposed on her, a spokesman for the athlete said on Tuesday.
These say that XY chromosome athletes with differences in sexual development can race in distances from 400 m to a mile only if they take medication to reach a reduced testosterone level.“I am very disappointed to be kept from defending my hard-earned title, but this will not deter me from continuing my fight for the human rights of all of the female athletes concerned,” Semenya said in a statement from her representative.
Dorothee Schramm, the lawyer leading Semenya’s appeal, says they are still hopeful of a permanent lifting of the regulations.
