Semenya taking case to European Court of Human Rights

The South African's lawyers said there's been a โ€œviolation of her rightsโ€ and wants the human rights court to examine the rules. That second case will be central to her appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. Adโ€œI hope the European court will put an end to the longstanding human rights violations by World Athletics against women athletes," Semenya said in a statement. It's unclear if the human rights court would be able to hear Semenya's case before the delayed Tokyo Olympics, which might be Semenya's last. Previous sports cases that have gone to the European Court of Human Rights have taken years to be decided.

Growing up intersex in a country where it is believed to be bad luck

DSD is a condition where a person's sex development involving genes, reproductive organs and hormones is different from other people's. South Africa has enacted laws to protect the rights of intersex persons. This law stipulates that intersex persons be treated as equals, without prejudice in South Africa. In August, for the first time ever, Kenya counted and included intersex persons in its population census, making it the first African country to do so. Intersex persons are discriminated against because society does not have enough public information on intersexuality, says, Dr. David Segal.

Caster Semenya blocked from competing at World Championships

(CNN) - Runner Caster Semenya will not be able to compete internationally without taking testosterone-reducing medication, after a Swiss judge reversed an earlier ruling on Monday. The new decision will prevent the South African athlete from defending her 800-meter title at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar in September. A Swiss court had temporarily suspended the controversial new policy in June. If the suspension had continued, Semenya would have been allowed to compete in Doha while her appeal to have the new rules reversed is ongoing. However, Monday's ruling overturned the suspension, effectively reinstating the IAAF's policy for the time being.
