Semenya and Athletic South Africa had been fighting a highly-publicised case against the IAAF, which seeks to limit natural levels of testosterone in female athletesagainst the International Association of Athletics Federations’ new testosterone rules.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport on Wednesday rejected Caster Semenya’s challenge against IAAF rules forcing her to lower her testosterone levels to compete with women, even as judges labelled the regulations “discriminatory.” The three judge panel found that the rules targeting athletes with differences in sexual development were “discriminatory” but that “such discrimination is a necessary, reasonable and proportionate means of achieving the IAAF’s aim of preserving the integrity of female athletics.”
Semenya, along with Athletics South Africa had been fighting a highly-publicised case against the IAAF, which seeks to limit natural levels of testosterone in female athletes in the distances that Semenya excels at.What the IAAF is basically saying is that the existence of intersex athletes doesn’t matter, because what matters is prevailing a sports categorization based on outdated knowledge that doesn’t acknowledge biological diversity.
Where have discrimination ever be necessary
This is Jarmila Kratochvílová , the Women's 800m world record holder. She was never persecuted and discriminated against when she was winning races and dominating the sport. They have a problem with Caster's skin , not with her brilliance. CasterSemenya
What kind of discrimination is 'necessary discrimination' this is bullshit
What?
White Judges?
Just not fair
If Caster Semenya has to take medication to suppress her testosterone,is that not doping? Or is it only an offense when you enhance your abilities, not medically deminish them? They'll say I'm playing the race card. But forget the German women who got a pass. Not Caster
How about just making sports GenderNeutral with different competition levels/groups based on performance? I bet one day we will look back at gender segregation in sport as a backward nonsensical practice, a symptom of dominant culture's anxiety around maintaining a gender binary
The decision they took didn't change who you are Mokgadi, Your still the champ so they can go to hell moletjieexpress.
This is preposterous. I am so infuriated by this blatant discrimination against caster800m Mokgadi Wa Rona. We are backing you Caster all the way
What hogwash.
