Women With High Testosterone Will Be Banned From Competing In Some Track Races, A Court Has Ruled

South African Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya lost her appeal challenging the rule as “discriminatory, unnecessary, unreliable, and disproportionate.”

South African Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya lost an appeal Wednesday in athletics' highest court, which ruled that restricting testosterone levels in runners with "differences of sex development" is discriminatory but should be done anyway.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decided in favor of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) rule regulating testosterone levels, meaning that some athletes, such as Semenya, may need to take medication to suppress their testosterone levels in order to compete at international races.

The IAAF argued that female runners with high testosterone levels have an unfair advantage in races ranging from 400 meters to 1 mile.

The IAAF rule was due to come into effect in November 2018 but was suspended during Semenya's challenge that it is "discriminatory, unnecessary, unreliable and disproportionate."

The panel of three judges found that the regulation is discriminatory but added, "Such discrimination is necessary, reasonable, and proportionate means of achieving the IAAF's aim of preserving the integrity of female athletics in the Restricted Events."

The CAS judges, however, want the rule to be applied to races up to 800 meters, saying that there is not enough evidence to support the idea that women with elevated testosterone levels have a competitive advantage in the 1,500-meter or 1-mile race.

What is happening to Caster Semenya is unacceptable

Male athletes who are naturally, genetically *gifted* are not forced to take physique altering drugs.

Also confusing this with a gender-assignment issue is dangerous. This is simply racially fueled discriminatory behaviour toward a woman who has worked for her victories.
