Caster Semenya, the 800m runner who won Olympic gold at London 2012, has been unfairly discriminated against for years because she challenges perceptions of what it is to be a woman by daring to have a testosterone level higher than the average.

Last week, over 60 professional athletes, with fairly impressive sporting titles from two-time Olympic gold medallists to world champions, penned an open letter from Athlete Ally and Women’s Sports Foundation demanding the IAAF rescind their flawed discriminatory testosterone policy. 

I stand firmly alongside these athletes in the pursuit of an equitable and inclusive athletic experience. I shared my views on the issue here : https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/caster-semenya-london-anniversary-games-iaaf-testosterone-oestrogen-sebastian-coe-monaco-a8458101.html
