The legal reviews surrounding Caster Semenya's high testosterone levels and how these should be handled have been going on for almost ten years.
She appealed several years ago the verdict from Cas – the sports arbitration court – regarding the International Athletics Federation's (World Athletics) decision to force her to medicate to lower her testosterone levels, in order to compete as a woman.
The European Court of Human Rights considered in a ruling last summer that Semenya's appeal had not received a fair review by the Supreme Court in Switzerland.
Now, however, the 34-year-old chooses not to request a new review in the case, her lawyer states in an email to the news agency AP.
The South African runner has won two Olympic Games gold medals on 800 meters (2012, 2016) and three World Championship gold medals (2009, 2011, 2017) on the distance, but has since 2018 not been able to compete in the event as she has not wanted to take medication to lower her testosterone levels.
