Caster Semenya's Human Rights Appeal Verdict Imminent

The European Court of Human Rights is expected to deliver a ruling on Tuesday in Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya's appeal against rules that require her and other female athletes to lower their natural hormone levels through medical intervention in order to compete in women's track and field races. Semenya argues that the regulations enforced by World Athletics are discriminatory and violate her right to freely compete in women's sports. This ruling is seen as her last legal avenue to overturning the rules, which have effectively barred her from running in her favored 800 meters event since 2019.
