Male hormone level Congenitally high restrictions on participation of women on land No problem September 9 19:01
The Swiss federal caster Semenya has called for a withdrawal because the rules of an international athletics organization that restricts female athletes with a congenital high male hormone level from participating in international competitions have called for the withdrawal because of discrimination. On the 8th, the Supreme Court announced a ruling that there was no problem with the regulations, and Semenya's loss was confirmed.
The World Athletics Federation, an athletics international organization, says that testosterone, a type of male hormone, will improve competitiveness, and it must be lowered to a certain level by taking drugs etc. to female athletes with a congenital high level. We have established regulations that prohibit you from participating in international competitions from 400 meters to 1 mile.
On the other hand, Semenya, an 800-meter gold medalist of the Rio de Janeiro Olympic women who has a naturally high testosterone level, challenged the Court of Arbitration for Sport, saying that the provisions are discriminatory. He had filed a lawsuit against the court to invalidate the provision.
The Supreme Court of the United States announced a ruling on the 8th, dismissing Semenya's complaint that the new regulations of the World Federation of Nations do not violate public order, and the defeat is confirmed.
As a result, Semenya will not be able to participate in 800 meters at the Tokyo Olympics next year unless the price is lowered by taking medicine.
About the ruling, Semenya commented through an agent, "I'm very disappointed. The World Land Federation refuses to give me medicines and stop me from being me."
