ATHLETICS NEWS - Athletics South Africa has assembled a formidable team of predominantly local legal and medical experts to challenge the IAAF’s case to impose its highly contentious regulations relating to the eligibility of females athletes with higher than normal testosterone levels to compete in international events.
This information has been released as a result of the IAAF having released information relating to the experts on its team in apparent contravention of a confidentiality order imposed upon the parties not to release any information relating to this case.
While the apparent main target of the regulations, Caster Semenya, is represented in her personal capacity by her own team of experts, Athletics South Africa has taken up the challenge on behalf of all affected female athletes worldwide, both current and in future as we believe that the regulations predominantly target African athletes.
