The South African 800-metres double Olympic champion is seeking to overturn a new set of IAAF regulations that are aimed at lowering the testosterone levels of hyperandrogenic athletes. "The IAAF does not believe the list of witnesses it will be calling is confidential, just their evidence at CAS," the spokesperson said. IAAF President Sebastian Coe said that the regulations are aimed at levelling the field between hyperandrogenic athletes and those with normal levels of testosterone. CAS claimed in their judgement that the IAAF had not provided sufficient evidence that hyperandrogenic athletes gained a significant advantage due to their testosterone count.
