Semenya wins human rights appeal against testosterone regulations, path to competition remains uncertain
- Semenya won an appeal against World Athletics' testosterone rules at the European Court of Human Rights on the grounds of discrimination.
- The court questioned the validity of the regulations requiring women like Semenya with naturally high testosterone to artificially lower their levels.
- However, the ruling did not immediately invalidate the rules, and Semenya's return to competition is still unclear.
- World Athletics plans to keep the regulations in place while encouraging Switzerland to appeal the court's decision.
- Further legal challenges will likely be required before Semenya can qualify for major events like the 2024 Paris Olympics.
