Semenya, the reigning Olympic 800m champion, is set to learn her fate next week after challenging the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) female track/field eligibility rules at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
JOHANNESBURG - Caster Semenya won the South African 5,000m title on Thursday but refused to discuss next week's ruling on whether or not athletes' testosterone levels should be regulated in a landmark case which could seriously impact her career.
Meanwhile, world 400m record-holder Wayde van Niekerk, who recently recovered from a knee injury, withdrew from the championships.
