The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled on May 1, 2019, that 28-year-old South-African athlete Caster Semenya and other female athletes like her with a very high testosterone level must undergo medication to reduce their testosterone to compete in sporting events. Caster Semenya who has inspired many women around the world spoke against the International Association of Athletics Federations saying, “I know that the IAAF’s regulations have always targeted me specifically. For a decade the IAAF has tried to slow me down, but this has actually made me stronger. The decision of the Cas will not hold me back. I will once again rise above and continue to inspire young women and athletes in South Africa and around the world.” Caster has won a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2016 Summer Olympics. After the ruling, she posted an emotional message on social media saying, "Knowing when to walk away is wisdom. Being able to is courage. Walking away with your head held high is dignity. That’s me and will always be. I’m finished.” Many fans have replied to the message, urging the athlete to not quit. (Photos: Instagram)
