The South African middle-distance runner is awaiting a Court of Arbitration for Sport verdict on her appeal against an IAAF regulation.

Caster Semenya of South Africa from Team Africa in action during Mixed 4x400m Relay at the IAAF Continental Cup in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

Semenya is awaiting a Court of Arbitration for Sport verdict on her appeal against an IAAF regulation that says female athletes classed as having differences in sexual development gain an unfair advantage due to their higher testosterone levels, though only in races between 400 and 1,000m.Under the new rules, athletes classed as having DSDs must reduce their blood testosterone level to below five nmol/L for a continuous period of six months before they can compete.

"Reading the comments of Mr Coe this weekend opened those old wounds and the reference by the Daily Telegraph to 'the muscle-packed Semenya' is just the latest illustration of how the issues have been distorted by innuendo." "Ms Semenya is a woman. There is no debate or question about this and the IAAF does not dispute this," the statement continued.
