‘It’s bull’: Former Olympic champion Caster Semenya blasts World Athletics BraMahlatse
“We are just hoping that justice will be served so that all the girls who have been affected by this decision can go back to run in their favourite events.
It recently emerged that the British Journal of Sports Medicine, which published the original evidence on the regulations four years ago, has now released a “correction” to that 2017 paper. Semenya, who refused to take hormone-reducing drugs, did not defend her double Olympic 800m title in Tokyo, but there is a strong possibility of making a return after World Athletics’ scientists admitted some of their findings were “on a lower level of evidence”.
