By BBC SPORTMore by this AuthorCaster Semenya has lost a landmark case against athletics' governing body meaning it will be allowed to restrict testosterone levels in female runners. Semenya, 28, had said the regulations were "unfair" and that she wanted to "run naturally, the way I was born". Cas found that the rules for athletes with DSD were discriminatory - but that the discrimination was "necessary, reasonable and proportionate" to protect "the integrity of female athletics". Cas has asked the IAAF to consider delaying the application of the rules to the 1500m and one mile events until more evidence is available. On Friday, Semenya won 5,000m gold at the South African Athletics Championships - a new distance for her, and one outside the scope of the IAAF rule change.
