Athletics SA to attack technical aspects of regulations in Caster Semenya court fight
Share
CAPE TOWN – The fight to have Caster Semenya cleared to compete in the 800m again will take on a double barrage at a European court after Athletics South Africa lodged their own application this week.
In a meeting with Parliament’s sports portfolio committee on Tuesday, the local governing body revealed that they have submitted a second application to the European Court of Human Rights, based in Strasbourg, France, which is empowered to investigate any violations of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Athletics SA’s (ASA) lawyer, Dev Maharaj, explained to the parliamentary committee that the decision to lodge their own application to the court was complementary to Semenya’s own personal case, which is seeking to overturn World Athletics regulations governing DSD (differences in sexual development) female athletes.
