“The IAAF is bound by strict confidentiality and so simply cannot — and will not — disclose the number of other athletes affected‚ or the identities of those athletes.'
The world governing body for athletics also dismissed accusations that they were targeting specific athletes — presumably SA star Caster Semenya — through the rules that will require all differences of sex development athletes with male XY chromosomes to lower their naturally occurring high levels of testosterone to compete in events from the 400m to the mile.
“The IAAF is bound by strict confidentiality and so simply cannot — and will not — disclose the number of other athletes affected‚ or the identities of those athletes. Semenya had challenged the regulations at the CAS‚ but two of the three judges ruled against her last week. If scrapped from the regulations‚ Semenya would at least be allowed to compete freely in the 1‚500m‚ where she won the bronze medal at the 2017 world championships in London.
