STANFORD, California - Olympic champion Caster Semenya said on Sunday she would not defend her world title in Doha next September if she could not run in the 800 meters because of new testosterone regulations imposed by the sport’s governing body.
Under the rules, XY chromosome athletes with differences in sexual development , like Semenya, must take medication to lower their natural testosterone levels if they are to compete at distances from 400m to a mile. But the South African said that even if she eventually lost her case, she planned to continue competing.“I am a talented athlete. I can play football , I can play basketball, I can do anything, I can run 100, I can run 200, I can run the steeple, I can do anything I want.”“This is like a legal battle,” Semenya said. “It’s like war. You don’t give up. You beat me today, I beat you tomorrow.“At the end of the day I am doing this for those who can’t fight for themselves.
