Athletics South Africa will appeal the Court of Arbitration Sport’s judgment in the case lodged by itself and Caster Semenya.
Athletics South Africa will appeal the Court of Arbitration Sport’s judgment in the case lodged by itself and Caster Semenya. The department of sports and recreation announced the news on Monday morning, giving the body its full backing to overturn an outcome that “is inconceivable”.
“The strength of scientific, medical and legal case we presented, we believe, the outcome is inconceivable on the fact. The facts before the court and the outcome do not match.” The court of arbitration’s ruling came as a devastating blow to Semenya. Under the IAAF’s new regulations, which went into effect last week, athletes in her position would be forced to lower and maintain their testosterone levels for an extended time. Semenya has given no indication that she will comply with the new rules and undergo treatment.
