Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya files appeal, challenging ruling that upheld IAAF regs which require intersex athletes to take drugs to lower testosterone. Semenya: "I am a woman and I am a world-class athlete. The IAAF will not drug me or stop me from being who I am."
. #CasterSemenya's lawyers say "the IAAF's demands for hormonal drug interventions" violate human rights, and IAAF views "reflect an outdated and deeply flawed socio-cultural stereotype of what it means to be a woman.”
. #CasterSemenya's appeal of earlier CAS ruling goes to Swiss Federal Supreme Court. CAS ruled that the regs on intersex athletes are discriminatory, but that discrimination is "necessary, reasonable and proportionate" to "preserv[e] the integrity of female athletics."
