Champion Runner Caster Semenya Ending Legal Fight Against Sex Eligibility Rules, Lawyer Tells AP
Caster Semenya ends her challenge after a ruling found her hearing unfair; new regulations require genetic testing for female athletes, affecting those with naturally high testosterone.
- Caster Semenya, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in the 800 meters from South Africa, has ended her legal fight against sex eligibility rules that have banned her from competing in her favorite race since 2019.
- Semenya has argued that the rules, which require her to take medication to artificially reduce her hormone levels, infringe on her rights.
- While Semenya's case has been a battleground over sex eligibility for nearly two decades, other sports have also moved to block women with differences in sexual development conditions from competing.
