The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) had ruled that female athletes like her who have elevated levels of testosterone ought to take hormone-suppressing drugs in order  to compete in whichever event between 400 metres and one mile.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Mokgadi Caster Semenya (born 7 January 1991) is a South African middle-distance runner who has two Olympic gold medals and three World Championships in the 800m.
• She won gold at the World Championships for the first time in 2009, and she went on to win gold at the 2016 Olympics and the 2017 World Championships, where she also took bronze in the 1500 metres. Mariya Savinova was also awarded gold medals for the 2011 World Championships and the 2012 Olympics following her doping disqualification.
• Semenya, a South African, recognises as a woman and never has mentioned her medical history publicly. However, she has been the subject of constant scrutiny since her arrival on the global stage a decade ago, even as media, the public, and her colleague athletes presumed about her physiology, misgendered her, and tried to argue that she should not be allowed to compete against other women.
• Her career serves as a reminder that when people question preconceived notions of masculine and feminine, their bodies can become fodder for debate — often against their will.
• Semenya is an intersex woman who was born female and has XY chromosomes as well as naturally elevated testosterone levels due to the presence of internal testes. Following her victory at the 2009 World Championships, she was forced to undergo sex testing before being cleared to compete the following year.
• The media has humiliated and shamed her in front of the entire world. This has severely demoralised her, but she has declared that no one can stop her from running.
• South Africans took to the internet with their guns blazing to defend their athlete. The human rights that Kaizer Motaung Junior and Caster Semenya felt were violated by the media were the right to human dignity and the right to equality.
