JOHANNESBURG: Wayde van Niekerk has backed fellow Olympic gold medallist Caster Semenya in her battle with the IAAF over female eligibility rules, saying on Friday that"it goes beyond track and field".
"With what she believes in and what she is dreaming of, I have got a lot of respect for her. I hope and pray that everything just goes from strength to strength for her." Should the IAAF win, Olympic 800m champion Semenya would be barred from competing in the distance where she excels.
