Double Olympic champion Caster Semenya will be able to run in her favoured 800 metres event without medication to lower her testosterone levels until her appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal has been ruled on, her lawyers said on Monday. "The Swiss Supreme Court has granted welcome temporary protection to Caster Semenya. "We have received no information from the Swiss Federal Court so we cannot comment at this stage," an IAAF spokesperson said. Speaking through her lawyers, Semenya said she remains hopeful of her appeal being successful. I hope that following my appeal I will once again be able to run free," she said.
