Johannesburg .- South African Athletics Federation (ASA) ruled the comeback of the athlete Caster Semenya they know the gender verification test in which it was submitted. Richard Stander, a spokesman for the ASA, said on the radio station radial "702", based in Johannesburg, the announcement of the athlete to competition would not see reason to be banned, DPA reported. "We are expecting that," Stander said regarding the announcement of the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) on the athlete, the ASA expected in June. Semenya not competed since the World Cup in Berlin last August, winning the gold medal in the 800 meters and started the suspicions about his true sexuality. The IAAF still does not give the results of the tests, but an Australian newspaper reported that the South African is intersexual, with characteristics of both sexes. In November, the association allowed Semenya keep the medal and the money earned in the German capital but not allowed back to compete in a women's competition.
On Tuesday, the athlete broke the silence that had been subjected to announce that he was preparing to run again despite having been recently excluded from a race near Cape Town where he wanted to participate. "So I publicly declare my return to competitive sport. My coach, my agent and I are working very closely to prepare a limited number of athletic events for next season," said the South African.
Semenya expressed concern that their growing potential was "severely compromised" which is "vital" for her to prepare the European events this year.The IAAF said he always suspected that the athlete is lying, but of unusual genetic parameters.
