Caster Semenya's world title defence hopes shattered

The Swiss Federal Supreme Court had previously suspended the IAAF gender regulations that require Semenya — and all female athletes with hyperandrogenism — to take medication to lower their naturally occurring high levels of testosterone to compete in events from 400m to 1500m.

“Yesterday 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‚” said a statement issued on Semenya’s behalf. She is appealing the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision to dismiss her challenge against the IAAF’s gender eligibility regulations.

“In this latest decision‚ the Supreme Court emphasised the strict requirements and high thresholds for the interim suspension of CAS awards and found that these were not fulfilled. “This ruling will prevent Caster from defending her title at the world championships‚” the statement said.“I am very disappointed to be kept from defending my hard-earned title‚ but this will not deter me from continuing my fight for the human rights of all the female athletes concerned‚” Semenya said in the statement.“We will continue to pursue Caster’s appeal and fight for her fundamental human rights.
