AP Top NewsCaster SemenyaGeneral NewsSportsTrack and field Olympic champion Caster Semenya wins appeal against testosterone rules at human rights court by Madison Thomas July 11, 2023 written by Madison Thomas July 11, 2023 5 comments Bookmark 80 Caster Semenya, a double Olympic champion runner, achieved a significant victory as the European Court of Human Rights ruled in her favor, acknowledging that she had been subjected to discrimination due to track and field’s testosterone rules. This ruling has the potential to compel the highest court in sports to re-evaluate the regulations that currently require Semenya and other female athletes to artificially lower their naturally high testosterone levels in order to participate in prestigious competitions like the Olympics and world championships. With a majority vote of 4-3 among the judges, the rights court based in Strasbourg affirmed Semenya’s appeal. In addition, the court determined that Semenya was denied an “effective remedy” against this discrimination when her previous appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and Switzerland’s supreme court were rejected. The immediate impact of this ruling remains unclear, including whether it will prompt an immediate revision of the rules and if Semenya, who is 32 years old, will be allowed to compete in the upcoming Olympics in Paris. Although she secured gold in the 800 meters at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, Semenya has been prohibited from participating in that event since 2019 due to the testosterone regulations, which resulted in her absence from the Tokyo Olympics where she was unable to defend her title.
