GENEVA (AN) — The governing body of track and field said it welcomed a decision from Switzerland's highest court that two-time Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya must follow new rules meant to lower naturally high testosterone levels in female runners with an intersex condition.
"This decision creates much needed parity and clarity for all athletes as they prepare for the World Championships in Doha this September," the Monaco-based International Association of Athletics Federations, or IAAF, said on Wednesday.
