Caster Semenya, a two-time Olympic champion, has won her case at the European Court of Human Rights

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Caster Semenya was a victim of discrimination in the testosterone case. This decision does not imply she will compete in the 800m again, but it is a step forward in her quest for justice. Caster Semenya, the double Olympic 800m champion, has won her appeal at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The South African objected to the violation of her rights by asking her to receive hormone treatment to lower her natural testosterone level in order to compete in international athletics contests in the female category. In a long-running legal battle against the legislation, Semenya petitioned the France-based court in February 2021 after losing an appeal to the Court of Arbitration on Sports (CAS) and another plea to the Swiss Federal Tribunal. However, this does not mean she is ready to compete. It also does not clarify whether World Athletics' testosterone rules are justified. She just hasn't had a thorough "institutional and procedural review" of the issue, and the domestic remedies accessible to her could not be regarded effective in the circumstances of the current case, according to the ECHR press release.
