A Court Ruled That Some Female Track Stars Will Have To Suppress Their High Testosterone Levels In Order To Compete
Caster Semenya of South Africa leading the field during the Women's 800 meter Final at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport sided in favor of the International Association of Athletics Federations rule to regulate testosterone levels, meaning some athletes, such as Semenya, may need to take medication to suppress their testosterone levels in order to compete at international races. The IAAF rule was due to come into effect in November 2018 but was suspended during Semenya's challenge that it is"discriminatory, unnecessary, unreliable and disproportionate."that the regulation is discriminatory but added,"such discrimination is necessary, reasonable, and proportionate means of achieving the IAAF's aim of preserving the integrity of female athletics in the Restricted Events.
"The CAS Panel suggested that the IAAF consider deferring the application of the DSD Regulations to these events until more evidence is available," the ruling states.
