South Africa has decided to lodge an appeal after Caster Semenya lost her case challenging new rules that force female athletes to regulate testosterone levels. Semenya’s case has resulted in a debate about gender and hyperandrogenic athletes. The appeal will be lodged at Switzerland Federal Tribunal and will be based on complaints about the judges’ past record, lack of clarity and how the evidence was handled.
