🚨 BREAKING: Caster Semenya 🇿🇦 wins key ruling at the European Court of Human Rights!

It was ruled that her right to a fair hearing was VIOLATED by the Swiss courts in her challenge against World Athletics’ DSD rules.

She won by a majority of 15-2.

The ruling does not overturn World Athletics’ DSD policy, but Semenya says the fight continues for other athletes. The 34-year-old South African has turned to coaching.

Semenya is appealing against World Athletics regulations that female athletes with differences in sexual development (DSDs) medically reduce their testosterone levels.

Under World Athletics rules, female DSD athletes must lower their level of testosterone to below 2.5 nmol/L for at least six months to compete. This can be done medically or surgically.

💖 IN HER HONOUR RUN 💖

We ask the men in our club to honour our women on the road by ensuring women feel safe on the road, not only on Tuesdays but everyday.

The sad reality is that South African streets are not safe for female runners.
