NEW DELHI: South African athlete Caster Semenya, the two-time Olympic champion in the 800m, on Tuesday won her appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, challenging the infringement of her rights in relation to the requirement for women with high testosterone levels to undergo drug-induced reduction.
The 32-year-old Semenya, classified as having "differences in sexual development (DSD)," has consistently refused to take medication to lower her testosterone levels, as mandated by World Athletics, the international governing body for the sport.
