  • Caster Semenya shrugs off the unfavourable CAS ruling
    Caster Semenya shrugged off the unfavourable Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling when she won the Women's 800m race at the IAAF Diamond League race in Doha. Semenya, the double Olympic champion at the distance, was added to the 800m start list, two days after her appeal against a new rule regulating testosterone levels for women athletes was rejected by the Court for Arbitration of Sport (CAS).

The rules will come into effect on May 8 and will apply to races over distances of 400m to the mile.
