Ruling expected Tuesday in runner Caster Semenya’s human rights appeal against sex eligibility rules:
The judgment expected Tuesday from the Semenya’s case has been at the forefront of the highly contentious, complex and divisive issue of sex eligibility in sports for nearly 15 years since she emerged on the international track scene as a teenager in 2009. It has been connected to the fight over WHAT IS SEMENYA’S CASE?
Her lawyers argued in their submissions to the Strasbourg, France-based European court that her rights have been violated because she has been discriminated against and denied an “effective remedy” to that discrimination in her previous legal challenges. The core of her argument is that she has always been legally identified as female and should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, even if she has a testosterone level that is higher than the typical female range. Semenya says her testosterone should be considered a genetic gift in the same way as, for example, an athlete’s height or a swimmer’s long arms.
