Semenya participated in a legal battle against the rules implemented by the Sports Games Authority for three courts-Swiss Sports Court, the Swiss Federal Court and the European Court of Human Rights.

The world said to athletics that Semenya and a few DSD athletes in the international track have testosterone levels in the male range, giving them an unfair advantage over other women because of the hormone connection to the muscle mass, performance and blood vessels. Semenya was the dominant hostility in the Mediterranean world and was not defeated in more than 30 racing when the athlete was prevented from the path of women and the field.

The DSD sporting feature of the testosterone hormone has been disputed in one of the many details of the Semenya case.

Semenya argued that the rules violate the rights of the athlete, then Semenya lost the appeal in the Sports Court of Sports and in the Swiss Federal Court.

However, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in July that Siminia had not had a fair session in the Swiss court, and not some complex arguments were not properly considered. This opened a medium for the athlete to continue the challenge.

World Athletics changed its policy in March 2023, with the exception of sexually transformed athletes to females who have gone to male women from women’s competitions, giving priority to “fairness and integrity”.

A presentation in a World Athletics A committee in Tokyo revealed last month that 50 to 60 athletes have male biological benefits who were in the final in the Global and Continental Championship since 2000.

The committee was led by the head of the Department of Health and Science for World Athletics Sex tests It was necessary because of the “excessive representation” of DSD (differences in sexual development) between the final qualifiers, according to multiple reports.

The controversy arose on this issue in world athletics when Siminia won the Olympic gold at 800 meters in the 2012 and 2016 games. Then, in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Christine Mbuma from Namibia got silver at 200 meters.

Last October United Nations Nearly 900 biological females said less than the platform because they were beaten by transit athletes.

Results were assembled by the REM Alsalem, the United Nations -affiliated decision on violence against women and its address “Violence against women and girls in sports.”

The report said that more than 600 athletes were unable to medal in more than 400 competitions in 29 sport, totaling more than 890 medals, according to information obtained as of March 30.

Kirsi Coventry, the new president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), dealt with the subject of transgender athletes who compete in women’s sports at the first press conference since his assumption in June and said that there is “overwhelming support” by IOC members To protect the female category.

“We understand that there will be differences depending on sport … but it is very clear from the members that we must protect the female category, first and foremost to ensure fairness,” said Coventry.

“But we need to do this with a scientific approach and include international federations who have already done a lot of work in this field.”

The new president added that there is “unanimous support” to reach an agreement on how to amend policy, and suggested that the International Olympic Committee may be inspired by the policy of global athletics, which restricts biological males to compete in women’s sports if these males have gone through male adulthood.

She said: “It was very clear from the membership that the discussion about this matter should take place with medical and scientific research in its essence, so we look at the facts and nuances and the inclusion of international federations that did a lot of this work … Get a seat on the table and participate with us because each sport is different.”

However, Coventry also said that any changes will most likely change the results of previous competitions retroactively, which included athletes with eligibility questions between the sexes.
