The world governing body for athletics also dismissed accusations that they were targeting specific athletes — presumably the SA starThe IAAF have poured cold water on hopes that the 1‚500m and mile events could be removed from their controversial female eligibility regulations.
“That is not true‚” the IAAF said in reaction to the allegation of picking on Semenya‚ pointing out there were other athletes with the same condition whom they could not expose. “The Court of Arbitration for Sport accepted that this demonstrates‚ in statistical terms‚ that they have a significant performance advantage.”
If scrapped from the regulations‚ Semenya would at least be allowed to compete freely in the 1‚500m‚ where she won the bronze medal at the 2017 world championships in London.But the IAAF‚ in a blanket statement in which they answered 12 of the most frequently asked questions that were fired at them since the judgment‚ said they had no intention of scrapping those two events.
Shame, poor woman.
