Caster Semenya "is biologically a male": the accusation of the Iaaf
ROME – "It is biologically a male", says Iaaf in a note in which it explains the thesis exposed before the Court of Arbitration of Sport of Lausanne, which proved it right against the South African middle- distance runner Caster Semenya . The latter contested the rule according to which, in order to continue competing, she and the others in her same condition of hyperandrogenism (a term that indicates an excessive production of male hormones, in particular testosterone) must necessarily undergo hormonal therapy to reduce your own testosterone levels.
After losing the cause to the Tas of Lausanne, the Semenya then won its battle at the Swiss Federal Court a month ago, thus being able to return to run the 800 (and all distances between 400 and mile) without having to submit to no treatment. The Swiss Federal Court has temporarily suspended the Iaaf regulation introduced on 8 May concerning intersex athletes.
In the 163-page document of the Tas in which there is the history of this sporting process, in which the thesis supported by the Iaaf is present, therefore, Semenya should not compete with women , but it is not explained however what would be its' sporting destiny. At the moment, he runs regularly in women's athletics competitions, without having to undergo any hormonal treatment. (source GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT)
