A panel of judges denied South African runner Caster Semenya's appeal against IAAF rules that will force female runners to decrease naturally high testosterone levels.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORESouth African runner Caster Semenya handled Wednesday's court ruling the best she could: By posting a helpless emoji and hardly reacting at all.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport's panel of three judges denied Semenya's appeal against IAAF rules that will force female runners like herself to decrease naturally high testosterone levels in select track and field events as intersex athletes. The rules were reversed from where they stood in the 2016 Rio Games when the same court suspended any limitations to an athlete's testosterone use — citing discrimination. At the time, intersex studies expert Joanna Harper told USA TODAY Sports, "this is a huge human rights victory, but sports not so much."
But the rules, while supported by scientific evidence, single Semenya out since the three judges only wanted the IAAF to apply the rules up to the 800 meters because an advantage was unclear in the 1,500-meter and longer distances. Semenya will undoubtedly be affected for her pursuit of a gold medal at the Tokyo Games because the International Olympic Committee adopts the IAAF's rules. But the ruling was not just about Semenya.
