South African athlete Caster Semenya has been discriminated against in Switzerland, according to the European Court of Human Rights. She was prevented from participating in races because she refused treatment to lower testosterone levels.
In the lawsuit against Switzerland, the European Court of Human Rights saw the 32-year-old middle-distance runner as discriminated against, the court announced on Tuesday.
In 2020, the Swiss judiciary upheld a decision by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) that had validated a regulation of the International Athletics Federation. According to the regulations, the hyperandrogenic athlete and two-time Olympic champion in the 800 meters sprint had to undergo hormone treatment to lower her testosterone levels if she wanted to participate in her course.
Semenya has won numerous gold medals in the 400, 800 and 1500 meters at the Olympics, World Championships and other competitions over the past decade. (SDA/dti)
