Caster Semenya, a two-time Olympian in the 800 metres, won her appeal before the European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday, disputing whether it had violated her rights to require women with high testosterone levels to lower those levels through medication.

The 32-year-old South African Semenya, who has “differences in sexual development” and is required to take testosterone-lowering medication by the sport’s international governing body, World Athletics, in order to race at her preferred distance, has refused to do so.

Semenya was unsuccessful in her appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and the ruling was subsequently upheld by Switzerland’s appeals court.

She filed the lawsuit against Switzerland as part of her protracted legal dispute.

The ECHR, which has its headquarters in Strasbourg, “found in particular that the applicant had not been afforded sufficient institutional and procedural safeguards in Switzerland to enable her to have her complaints examined effectively,” according to its decision.

The 32-year-old’s victory is primarily symbolic as it neither challenges the World Athletics decision nor clears the path for Semenya to compete in the 800 metres again.

At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and in London in 2012, Semenya took home gold.
