Caster Semenya cleared to compete as a woman - IAAF 6 July 2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related Content ■Here’s what Caster told her father this morning Controversial athlete Caster Semenya has been cleared to compete as a woman - after nearly a year of speculation over her gender. This was confirmed today by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). The IAAF has given the 19-year-old South African 800m world champion the green light to run again after reviewing the results of gender-verification tests. "The process initiated in 2009 in the case of Caster Semenya has now been completed," the IAAF said in a statement. "The IAAF accepts the conclusion of a panel of medical experts that she can compete with immediate effect." The IAAF added: "The medical details of the case remain confidential and the IAAF will make no further comment on the matter." Semenya has not run since leaked test results said she was a hermaphrodite following her win at the world championships in Berlin in August. The incident sparked anger from the South African public and government, who have rallied behind the athlete. Sapa-AF http://www.sowetan.co.za/News/Article.aspx?id=1158734 |
