McColgan calls for new categories as Semenya row rumbles on

This week South Africa middle-distance star Semenya lost a challenge against the International Association of Athletic Federations over plans to force some women to regulate their testosterone levels.

McColgan, whose daughter Eilish has run against Semenya, expressed sympathy but backed the 2-1 CAS verdict as a necessary ruling to protect the integrity of women’s sport. “I do not agree that anyone should take any drugs to reduce testosterone because I’m a big supporter of a drug-free sport and I’d be a bit of a hypocrite if I said should take medication to suppress what is naturally high in her.”

“There are two categories — there’s men and there’s women, and it’s how do we protect women in sport and the future for that? 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”.

They should just stop already 🙄White people feel disrespected when a black counterpart does better than them. They fear equality as EFF always say. They will do everything in their power to destroy your confidence and psychological well being😌

Very insulting

This is insulting.

Liz why she is a woman is she not ? She should participate with other women

She only realized that after Caster defeated her..
