Semenya to miss Doha World Championship after Swiss court ruling

The ruling means the 28-year-old can no longer compete in events between the 400m and 800m, as she did in June and July. The World Championships are scheduled between September 28 – October 6 in the Qatari capital.

Semenya’s representatives said in a statement that, on Monday, “a single judge of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court reversed prior rulings that had temporarily suspended the IAAF regulations pending the outcome of Caster’s appeal against the CAS award”. Dorothee Schramm, the lawyer leading Semenya’s appeal, added that the judge had made a “procedural decision” that has no impact on the appeal itself.

Semenya is locked in a bitter dispute with the International Association of Athletics Federations , which should be settled by a final ruling from Switzerland’s supreme court on the superstar athlete’s appeal against the regulations.But for the IAAF, women like Semenya, with certain masculine attributes due to differences of sexual development , are classified, biologically, as men. It is a position hotly contested by South African officials.

Lewena go a run with a man as ur a husband live those pricence to enjoy them selves

South Africans please stop being in denial. Semenya is 46XY chromosomes which means she is biologically Male. Has no uterus, no ovaries. Has two internal testes. Diagnosed as intersex. Please Stop with the accusations of racism. Women need to compete with other women

Not fear for our golden girl, be strong girl you were born for this

Agree fully with this judgement. How can a man with atleast 5 times the amount of testosterone as the highest woman compete in a race for women?

Semenya must just sit down.

This is so Sad.
