Caster Semenya, a South African athlete, faces restrictions from competing without hormone treatment to lower her testosterone levels. The Swiss Supreme Court upheld these regulations for fairness in sports. Semenya, who has hyperandrogenism, plans to appeal internationally. The World Athletics regulations, validated by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, set testosterone limits for female athletes in certain events.
