Semenya challenges IAAF ruling

CAPE TOWN: South African middle distance champion Caster Semenya has taken her challenge to a classification ruling by the governing body of athletics to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the court said on Tuesday.
Semenya, a double Olympic and triple world 800 metres champion, would have to take medication to lower her higher than normal levels of naturally-produced testosterone under the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) ruling.
The IAAF says her testosterone levels give her an unfair advantage.
“Caster Semenya seeks a ruling from CAS to declare such regulations unlawful and to prevent them from being brought into force.
An arbitration procedure has been opened,” the court said in a statement.
