# Athletics: South Africa’s Caster Semenya has won her case in the European Court of Human Rights. The court has upheld the 2023 ruling against the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland against the two-time Olympic 800-metre champion. It found the ruling discriminated after Semenya was barred from competing due to World Athletics’ testosterone-limiting rules. The rules, which were introduced in 2018, targeted athletes with differences of sexual development. Experts say the ruling could reshape global gender eligibility policies in sport and marks a major human rights victory.
