IAAF clears Semenya to return to running


JOHANNESBURG (AP)

Track and field's ruling body has cleared world champion runner Caster Semenya to return to her sport immediately.

The 19-year-old South African was sidelined for 11 months after undergoing gender tests following her 800-meter victory at the world championships last August.
The International Association of Athletics Federations said Tuesday it accepts the conclusion of a panel of medical experts that she can compete with "immediate effect."


The statement adds that medical details of her case remain confidential and the IAAF will have no further comment on the matter.

[ What none of the mainstream articles will mention is that Semenya is XY. He/she has testosterone levels 3 times that
of a normal woman. Cases like this are not cut and dry, but it does seem reasonable that if he/she wants to compete
she needs to decrease her testosterone level, or compete with the men. ]

Caster Semenya was defiant in every way at what could be her last 800-meter race.
With her raised fist at the start. With her unstoppable victory. And with her reply Friday to the big question of whether she will now submit to new testosterone regulations in track and field and take hormone-reducing medication.
"Hell, no," the Olympic champion from South Africa said.
Semenya responded to her defeat in a landmark court case against track and field's governing body two days earlier with a resounding win in a place where she has done nothing but win the last four years -- over two laps of the track.

</aside>She won the 800 meters at the opening Diamond League meeting of the season in Doha, Qatar, with a meet record of 1 minute, 54.98 seconds. It was her fourth-fastest time ever. The only person ahead of her at any time during the race was the pacemaker.
Semenya's nearest challenger, the Olympic silver medalist Francine Niyonsaba, was nearly three seconds and about 20 meters behind her -- barely in the picture. Ajee Wilson of the United States was third.
It was Semenya's first 800-meter race this year and first since losing her case against the IAAF this week.<iframe class="teads-resize" style="box-sizing: border-box; width: 565px; height: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; border-width: initial !important; border-style: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; display: block !important;"></iframe>

"Actions speak louder than words," Semenya told the BBC. "When you are a great champion, you always deliver."
But Semenya's four-year dominance over two laps -- Friday's win was her 30th straight in the 800, continuing a run that started in late 2015 -- may now be at an end.
Ended not by another competitor, but by new regulations set to come into effect Wednesday. They require the South African star and other female athletes with high levels of natural testosterone to medically lower them to be eligible to compete in events ranging from 400 meters to the mile.
Semenya failed to overturn those rules in her appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Now, her career appears to be at a crossroads: Does she take medication to lower her testosterone? The medication will likely inhibit her athletic performance and could blunt her dominance. Or does she switch events and run in long-distance races not affected by the regulations?
She was emphatic when she told reporters after Friday's race that she wouldn't take the medication.
"That's an illegal method," she said.
But Semenya also didn't give a clear idea of what she would do next. She said she wouldn't move up to the 5,000 meters and she definitely wouldn't retire.
"God has decided my career, God will end my career," she said in the BBC interview. "No man, or any other human, can stop me from running. How am I going to retire when I'm 28? I still feel young, energetic. I still have 10 years or more in athletics.
"It doesn't matter how I'm going to do it. What matters is I'll still be here. I am never going anywhere."
Semenya's comments may foreshadow an appeal against the CAS ruling -- aimed first at allowing Semenya to defend her 800 title at the world championships, also in Doha, in September and October, while not taking the hormone-suppressing drugs.

</article>But if she keeps her promise not to lower her testosterone, there is a chance that Friday marked the last time that Semenya runs in the 800, where she is a double Olympic and a three-time world champion, and arguably the best female athlete to run the distance in 40 years.
Her career, however, seems destined to be overshadowed by the testosterone debate, which has the potential for implications far beyond her own results.
Semenya gave away little on the track to indicate it might be her last race at the distance. She raised her right fist when announcers introduced her before the race.
She was presented with a bunch of flowers and tossed them to the crowd at the end. She then gave a thumbs-up to fans, flashed a brief smile and walked off the track.

He/she has no uterus or ovaries, and has internal testes (which crank out the testosterone). Apparently he/she has a vagina.

Do you think there will eventually be a transgender category for sports and physical competitions?

Is that the truth. Couldn’t find out if she was born a man or woman. Honestly if she was born with a vagina I kinda have to give her the benefit of the doubt. Can’t complain with the fact that the way she was naturally born was with a vagina and just happens to naturally produce more testosterone too.

StevieRay one of the few dudes who understands reality.

They just hired one of these transgenders fruits at my work to manage the beast-iality and diversity department. This it/he/she/thing comes in and now every month there are pictures on the wall everywhere for the flavor of the month. This month is Asian people month or some shit like this. So there are pictures of Ching Chong and so on of different Asians who were born in the US. Mind you, in my state there are less than 0.5% Asians or some shit like that.


Rolltide won't understand as he's been educated through the American educational system/media/Hollywood, but gays/diversity and eventually transgenderism is a step by step plan created by the **** to destroy society. The next step is pedophilia but it has not gained acceptance yet. Now, in current day culture, gays are seen as just normal. Now that they've established that they can push transgenders. Currently many people are resisting the transgender nonsense, but they push it in schools (ie, our children), the media and Hollywood. They need to normalize it and then they can move on to pedophilia.

They've already dabbled with pedophilia promotion (ie, major news print outlets (online) and TedTalks), but the response has been outrage... and they've had to pull the articles. But this is their goal and they're slowly/quickly edging their way towards it.

Many of you -- who are sane -- see this transgender bullshit as absolutely ridiculous. I'm just advising you all of the progression and what they have planned as 99% of people don't understand.... and have been brainwashed to view these perpetrators (those who are implementing this) as victims.

So now you know what is next. Do you want to know what comes after that?

You'll have to research it yourselves. It's not pretty.

being that trannies make up about .0000001% of the population we might as well have categories for every mental disease or physical disorder. I could get down watching some Bipolar Biathlon or Apotemnephilia Curling

Caster Semenya was born internally and chromosonally a male, but with a vagina.

Born a female, always a female no matter what changes you try to make on the inside or outside.

Born a male, always a male no matter what changes you try to make on the inside or outside.
