Caster Semenya‘s latest appeal to be allowed to defend her Olympic 800m title without taking testosterone-suppressing measures has been denied by the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland.
“I am very disappointed by this ruling, but refuse to let World Athletics drug me or stop me from being who I am,” Semenya said in a press release. “Excluding female athletes or endangering our health solely because of our natural abilities puts World Athletics on the wrong side of history. I will continue to fight for the human rights of female athletes, both on the track and off the track, until we can all run free the way we were born.
