“ASA respects the CAS decision and will now review the ruling and decide whether to consider the option of taking this matter to the Swiss Federal Tribunal within the 30 days as stipulated in the ruling,” it said in a statement. Caster Semenya's appeal for the International Association of Athletics Federations to halt the introduction of regulations to limit testosterone in female athletes with differences of sexual development has been dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
“For CAS does not only condone discrimination, but also goes to lengths to justify it, [which] only undermines the integrity that this body is entrusted with. We believe their decision is disgraceful.”“ASA was confident of a favourable outcome given the human rights, medico-legal and scientific arguments and evidence that we believe invalidated the regulations.
