DOHA - The future of double Olympic champion Caster Semenya was in doubt on Friday after she said she would not take medication to lower testosterone levels to comply with new rules for the 800 metres.
Under the new rules, female athletes with high natural levels of testosterone wishing to compete in events from 400 metres to a mile must medically limit that level to under 5 nmol/L, double the normal female range of below 2 nmol/L. The South African was running at the Diamond League meeting in Doha two days after the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected her appeal to get the IAAF’s new regulations thrown out. Semenya’s legal team said it was considering appealing that ruling.
Tell them to stick their corrupt sport up their arse.
africaupdates They win once again.
She's not a transgender and I guess if she was a white fellow, the scenario could have been different. Longlive CS, God created you and let him be glorified.
I think it must be hard enough simply living without taking her passion away
Why no mention that she has XY chromosomes and testes? If intersex people are allowed to compete with women it will destroy women’s sports.

Well...Usain Bolt was born with the 'sprinting gene’ - ACTN3 on his side to help him be so fast. She was born with high testosterone levels that help her being fast. Nature is not fair.
Good for her! caster800m should NOT take drugs to satisfy them! Why change who she is?! I thought sports didn't allow drugs.
africaupdates Why must she take a chemical to reduce her natural gift because she's black .......wickedworld !
She should sue
Good on her!!!
If the main reason why she is an Olympic champion is because her body produces male level testosterone, then she should not be allowed to compete against women. It is not fair to the other women competitors. I would love to see her compete without male level testosterone.
Conundrum...
is that her father?
Even so, Prince Philips hewed a path through the jungle. He hid the toy behind his back.
He/she resembles Didier drogba😂🤣😂🤣😂
Tek th dosage and prove em wrong then u'll be th greatest.u r scared of what
His/Her name is unbelievable
how much Testosterone were the other ladies given? 💪🏼
It doesn’t matter if “it” lowered their natural testosterone levels or not. “It” still is not a woman - scientifically/genetically not!
Good on her !! Why should she change who she is as person just to suit those around her !!!
I agree with her. there s always hope in life.
A she huh?
I thought this was TheOnion when I read the name slowly.
If she has a future that's going to take balls.
That’s a dude tho
Let her run with men if her levels are as a male. It's sooo unfair all normal females trained for years for their sport to only lose to her
This dude should stop cheating.
No. No no no. Her future is doubt after a bunch of asshats declared that she HAD TO take performance-inhibiting drugs in order to keep competing.
This is a 'she'? Liike seriously?

Factbox: South African athlete Semenya loses appeal against testosterone ruleThe Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed an appeal by South Africa... there should be no women or men categories. Everyone should just race each other and let the best person win. Eero Mäntyranta is a Finish cross-country skier who won 7 Olympic medals. He had a mutation in an EPO receptor that increased red blood cell concentrations and a greater O2 carrying capacity. Perhaps they should take away his medals.
