The Swiss Supreme Court dismissed Semenya’s appeal against a rule requiring women to regulate their naturally high testosterone level.
that female track athletes with differences of sex development , like Semenya, must lower their testosterone level for at least six months in order to compete in certain events.
“I am very disappointed by this ruling, but refuse to let World Athletics drug me or stop me from being who I am,”. “Excluding female athletes or endangering our health solely because of our natural abilities puts World Athletics on the wrong side of history.” Chills my people,A man can change the rules but the very same man can not rule my life,What I'm saying is that I might have failed against them the truth is that I have won this battle long ago,Go back to my achievements then you will understand.Doors might be closed not locked.In coming to this decision, the Swiss Federal Tribunal, a panel of five federal judges, said its role was to determine “whether the CAS decision violates fundamental and widely recognized principles of public order.
“Implicated female athletes are free to refuse treatment to lower testosterone levels. The decision also does not aim to question in any way the female sex of implicated female athletes,” the federal court said.Semenya’s legal team is considering what actions they can potentially take moving forward. Based on the how long it took for judgments to come through in these cases, it is unlikely to be resolved by the upcoming Olympics.
