What is happening with Semenya's athletics career?

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) made this ruling, giving the South African a slight modicum of hope that she could still win her protracted legal fight over athletics' sex eligibility rules.

In her case against the body governing athletics worldwide, she argues that she has been discriminated against, as she is being asked to reduce her testosterone levels in order to be eligible. In their defence, the body maintains that the rules were put in place to protect the female category and ensure fair competition.

Semenya's attempts at challenging the World Athletics rules in 2019 failed at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Then, in 2023, the ECHR made a ruling in favour of Semenya in a case related to testosterone levels in female athletes.
