[ICYMI] WMA warns doctors not to enforce Semenya rules eNCA
But World Medical Association chairman Frank Ulrich Montgomery advised doctors to play no part in enforcing the rules during an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
In a 2-1 decision, CAS judges dismissed Semenya's appeal against the measures targeting"hyperandrogenic" athletes -- or those with"differences of sexual development" . Montgomery said that for women with DSD"it is just normal to be androgenic and there is nothing pathological about the situation of this athlete"."No physician can be forced to administer these drugs, and we definitely urge our colleagues to refrain from giving hormonally active medication to athletes simply because some regulations demand it," he added.
Montgomery said the argument that Semenya had an unfair advantage over others didn't make sense, using the height of some basketball players to make his point.
