Double Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya has won an appeal against track and field’s testosterone rules after the European Court of Human Rights ruled she was discriminated against.
At least three other Olympic medalists have also been impacted by the rules that set limits on the level of natural testosterone that female athletes may have. World Athletics says there are “a number” of other elite athletes who fall under the regulations.
While track authorities can't challenge Semenya's legal gender, they say her condition includes her having the typical male XY chromosome pattern and physical traits that make her “biologically male,”World Athletics says Semenya's testosterone levels give her an athletic advantage comparable to a man competing in women's events and there needs to be rules to address that.
On Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights agreed. It also found for Semenya on another point of her appeal, that she wasn't given “effective remedy” against that discrimination when the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the Swiss supreme court denied her appeals.
