Athlete Caster Semenya's future in doubt after she declines to take medication to lower testosterone levels to comply with new IAAF rules
Athletics - Diamond League - Doha - Khalifa International Stadium, Doha, Qatar - May 3, 2019 South Africa's Caster Semenya wins the women's 800m
Under the new rules, female athletes with high natural levels of testosterone wishing to compete in events from 400 metre to 1.6km must medically limit that level to under 5 nmol/L, double the normal female range of below 2 nmol/L. The South African was running at the Diamond League meeting in Doha two days after the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected her appeal to get the IAAF’s new regulations thrown out. Semenya’s legal team said it was considering appealing that ruling.
