With another emphatic win, we may have seen the last of Caster Semenya as we’ve known her. But Semenya plans to keep racing ahead of a rule change that’s expected to end her 800m dominance.
The double Olympic champion was reportedly asked, after cruising to a 30th straight win in the two-lap race on Friday night in Doha, if she would take medication to adhere to an imminent IAAF rule capping testosterone for women’s events between the 400m and mile.
“Hell no,” the South African said, according to media on site.
Semenya also said she would not be moving up to the 5000m, the shortest event on the Olympic program that she could move up to without a testosterone cap, according to those same reports.
