Caster Semenya
JOHANNESBURG — Track and field’s ruling body has cleared world champion runner Caster Semenya to return to her sport immediately.
The 19-year-old South African was sidelined for 11 months after undergoing gender tests following her 800-meter victory at the world championships last August.
The International Association of Athletics Federations said Tuesday it accepts the conclusion of a panel of medical experts that she can compete with “immediate effect.”
