PARIS - Double Olympic champion Caster Semenya, who lost her appeal over a controversial gender ruling, will not race at this month’s Diamond League meeting in Stockholm, the organisers told AFP on Thursday.
Burundi’s Francine Niyonsaba and Kenya’s Margaret Nyairera Wambui, who are among the star female athletes affected by the International Association of Athletics Federation’s ruling this month and who completed the Olympic podium in Brazil will also not feature in Sweden.Semenya’s case has provoked a furious debate across sport around the globe about gender and “hyperandrogenic” athletes, those with “differences of sexual development” .
South Africa’s government on Monday said it would lodge an appeal against the IAAF’s decision which came into operation on 8 May and applies to distances from 400m to a mile and includes the heptathlon.
We love you Caster.
Finally Lindsay sharpe can realize her dream of coming in 8th.
Downgrade it to the Cubic Zirconia League?
To hell with them
If Oscar could run with able bodies, her only option is to run with those with the same testosterone levels. If I was the 10th fastest mens sprinter in the world, could I be the fastest womans sprinter because I chose to identify as a woman and demanded to compete as one?

OPINIONISTA: Caster Semenya: A question about feminism’s end-gameAnalyses of the IAAF’s misogyny/racism/queerphobia against Caster could account for how the mainstream institutionalised sport is only marginally concerned with the public benefit we ascribe to it.
