Sport minister Tokozile Xasa has instructed Athletics SA to appeal the Court of Arbitration for Sport decision against Caster Semenya.
Under the rules differences of sex development athletes with male XY chromosomes must take medication to lower naturally occurring high levels of testosterone to compete in women’s races from 400m to a mile. Chand had won her case‚ forcing the IAAF to scrap its regulations at the time‚ which allowed DSD athletes to compete without taking medication until now.
And lastly‚ the minister did not believe that the CAS addressed the pertinent legal questions it should have.“For instance‚ it has not been answered as to how the IAAF will implement the regulations and how ethical issues will be addressed‚” the ministry said in the statement.
