VOICED : La justicia suiza rechaza recurso de Semenya para competir sin tratamiento

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. The Lausanne Federal Court argues that high testosterone gives an unfair advantage, but acknowledges the potential harm of hormone treatment. Semenya remains optimistic about competing in the 200 meters at the Tokyo Olympics, which is not affected by these rules.
