# Athletics: South Africa’s double Olympic champion, Caster Semenya, will learn today if she can be forced to lower her testosterone levels to compete as a woman. The European Court of Human Rights is expected to make a key ruling after years of legal battles. Semenya, legally identified as female, has refused medication since 2018 to reduce testosterone, stating that such mandates are invasive and discriminatory. She hopes the decision will uphold athletes’ rights and diversity. The case follows renewed gender debates during last year’s Olympics in Paris.
