It’s been 15 years since a teenage runner from South Africa was publicly scrutinized over her sex at a major sports event.

Women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics has highlighted the complexity of drafting and enforcing sex eligibility rules for women's sports and how athletes like Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan are left vulnerable in the fallout.

Champion runner Caster Semenya has won what might turn out to be a landmark legal victory.

The European Court of Human Rights is expected to deliver what could be the final judgment on Tuesday in Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya’s yearslong legal challenge against track and field's contentious sex eligibility rules.

Track and field has banned transgender athletes from international competition while adopting new regulations that could keep Caster Semenya and other athletes with differences in sex development from competing.

Steeplechaser Norah Jeruto came up with a cool way to celebrate her victory at the end of a sizzling hot day at the world championships.

Caster Semenya finished 13th in the women’s 5,000 meters Wednesday at the world championships, an expected result for the South African who has been banned from her best event because of rules that demand she take hormone-reducing drugs to enter certain races.

Caster Semenya has been listed to compete at next week’s world championships in Eugene, Oregon.

Bans on transgender women in swimming and rugby this week opened the door for track and field to consider following suit in what could turn into a wave of policy changes in Olympic sports.

A British newspaper has reported that double Olympic champion Caster Semenya said she offered to show her vagina to track officials when she was just 18 years old to prove she was a female.

Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya is working on a book about her triumphs as a runner and her experiences as an intersex woman with naturally high testosterone levels.

The complex testosterone regulations in track and field have become an issue again at the Olympics after Namibian teenager Christine Mboma surprisingly won a silver medal in the 200 meters after being banned from running in the 400 because of her high natural hormone levels.

Olympic champion Caster Semenya has been sentenced to 50 hours of community service for speeding while driving.

Caster Semenya won the 5,000-meter race at the South African national championships in a personal-best time and then said she's likely to focus on long-distance events for the rest of her career.

The South African's lawyers said there's been a “violation of her rights” and wants the human rights court to examine the rules. That second case will be central to her appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. Ad“I hope the European court will put an end to the longstanding human rights violations by World Athletics against women athletes," Semenya said in a statement. It's unclear if the human rights court would be able to hear Semenya's case before the delayed Tokyo Olympics, which might be Semenya's last. Previous sports cases that have gone to the European Court of Human Rights have taken years to be decided.

DSD is a condition where a person's sex development involving genes, reproductive organs and hormones is different from other people's. South Africa has enacted laws to protect the rights of intersex persons. This law stipulates that intersex persons be treated as equals, without prejudice in South Africa. In August, for the first time ever, Kenya counted and included intersex persons in its population census, making it the first African country to do so. Intersex persons are discriminated against because society does not have enough public information on intersexuality, says, Dr. David Segal.

(CNN) - Runner Caster Semenya will not be able to compete internationally without taking testosterone-reducing medication, after a Swiss judge reversed an earlier ruling on Monday. The new decision will prevent the South African athlete from defending her 800-meter title at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar in September. A Swiss court had temporarily suspended the controversial new policy in June. If the suspension had continued, Semenya would have been allowed to compete in Doha while her appeal to have the new rules reversed is ongoing. However, Monday's ruling overturned the suspension, effectively reinstating the IAAF's policy for the time being.
