Olympic hostility, Siminia, ends the legal battle against the rules of eligibility, the lawyer says

Its lawyers said on Thursday, despite his victory in the European Court of Human Rights in July, despite his victory over the European Court of Human Rights in July, and it appears that he had raised one of the most controversial cases in the European Court of Human Rights in July:

Patrick Braisher, a Siminia lawyer, said in an e -mail to Associated Press that they would not resume it to the Swiss Supreme Court, which was an option and what many are supposed to be the next step followed by Siminia after the European Court of Law.

“The legal challenge of the wheel has reached the highest possible court with a very successful result and will not be taken in these circumstances.”

Semenya holds the Olympic Gold medal twice a distance of 800 meters from South Africa, which was prevented from running in its favorite race in Major International meetings such as Olympic Games and World Championships since 2019 because they refused to follow the rules and take the drug to artificially reduce hormone levels.

Since 2018, her legal battle against the rules implemented by the Sports Games Authority for athletics for three courts has fought; The highest court in Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Court and the European Court of Human Rights.

I argued with the rules that violated her rights. She lost her appeal in the Sports Court of Sports and in the Swiss Federal Court.

However, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in July that it did not find a fair session in the Swiss court, and some complex arguments were not considered correctly. This opens a way to continue the challenge.

The profession ended in the peak

Semenya was the dominant medium -distance hostility in the world and was not defeated in more than 30 races when it was prevented. Now 34, she moved to training, where she ended the regulations with the effectiveness of her career.

It was the controversial qualitative qualifications in sport since she won the world championship when she was a teenager in 2009 and forced to undergo sex verification tests.

Semenya has one of many cases known as the differences in sex development, or DSD. It has a model male Xy chromosome style but also female physical features and high levels of testosterone that occurs naturally. DSD conditions are sometimes called multinational conditions.

Semenya is not a transgender, although its case is often subjected to divisional discussion about the participation of sexually transformed athletes in female competitions. She was identified as a female at birth, raised as a girl, and she has always identified a female.

Athletics says that Semenya and a small number of other athletes in DSD in the international track have testosterone levels in the male range, giving them an unfair advantage over other women because of the hormone connection to the performance of muscle mass and cardiac performance.

The extent of the DSD athlete of the testosterone in one of the many complex details of the historical condition of Semenya.

Follow the regulations now more strict

The path and the field presented new rules that govern women with the high natural testosterone hormone in 2011 in a step that is a direct response to the arrival of Siminia. The regulations have become more striking over the years, and changing the base that was presented earlier this year is away from monitoring testosterone and requires women competing in the international track to undergo a genetic test to verify the presence of Y.

If they fail to test the genetic sexual eligibility once, they are banned from female competitions. The new rules entered into force on the first of September before the World Championship last month.

Bracer noticed in his email to AP that the current regulations are completely different from the challenges of Semenya in court when its case began seven years ago. He said that Siminia’s last victory in the European Rights Court may provide a basis for a new challenge by another athlete against the current regulations.

While the Semenya issue has made the path and the field the main battlefield on the eligibility of sex for nearly two decades, other prominent sports such as swimming have moved to prevent women with DSD conditions from competing. Semeneya is often seen as a precedent for other sports to provide its own restrictions.

Boxing was mired in the Paris Olympics scandal last year due to participation Imane Khelif From Algeria and Lin U Ting from Taiwan after officials claimed that they had previously failed to check for sex unlimited.

Boxing has now also led to genetic sexual tests, and she followed Khelif, who won a gold medal in Paris, Semenya and appealed to her at the Sports Arbitration Court.
