Sama believes the science used by the IAAF to prop up its proposal to restrict female athletes’ testosterone levels is flawed.
“We support Ms Semenya in this legal battle and look forward to a successful outcome for her. We urge the IAAF to reconsider their stance on this issue and to rely on better and more extensive research emanating from the world’s greater medical community,” said Sama chairperson Angelique Coetzee in a statement.
“We are concerned that the arguments by the IAAF for regulating testosterone levels in such athletes are most likely based on a single, flawed study in which reporters were highly conflicted,” said Coetzee. Testosterone is a hormone that increases muscle mass, strength and haemoglobin, which affects endurance.
