Semenya’s hormones are still an issue

Johannesburg - Caster Semenya is destined to be remembered in the history of sport as the woman who changed an era, whichever way her story ends.

In 2009, she was publically shamed because her femininity was not convincing enough.

She had dominated the 800m at the World Championships in Berlin, but she was then made – by the International Association of Athletics Federations – to take hormones to lower her natural testosterone levels, which had made her a Ferrari racing against Mickey Mouse cars.
