Caster Semenya to compete in Doha 800m on Friday night

The 800m line-up features all the medallists from the last world championships in London in 2017 as well as the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Semenya won gold at both events and Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi silver. Margaret Wambui won Olympic bronze and American Ajee Wilson was third at the world championships. Also in the field is Briton Lynsey Sharp who‚ after the Olympic final‚ tearfully complained about Semenya having an unfair advantage because of her naturally occurring higher levels of testosterone.

The IAAF’s regulations are set to kick in on Wednesday next week‚ although the world governing body has said Semenya will need to start taking medication to lower her testosterone levels if she wants to compete at the world championships in Doha later this year. Two other SA athletes are on the entry lists for the Doha Diamond League‚ new SA 400m hurdles champion Zeney van der Walt and the veteran she dethroned at Germiston last weekend‚ Wenda Nel.

They should have asked a lot of questions especially very sensitive questions and about where this is coming from where it was tested bfo why starting on their client wat consequences can it have if used

White lawyers mxm they know they can't win they want to see Semenya going down they want to eat and finish her money they didn't produce enough evidence to stop this nonsense they didn't protect simenya

Waste of time but they can go ahead with the appeal of they deem fit

She should go for it straight💪we all South Africans support you 100%caster800m

I need clarity on this one, if someone is more intelligent than the other, then we must reduce his/her capacity because it doesn’t please the white master?
