Caster Semenya has come out accusing IAAF of a breach of confidentiality. This is in regard to the hearing of her case against the body.

Her lawyers were responding to a press release issued yesterday by the IAAF. The body named their five expert witnesses in the matter to decide if athletes with hyperandrogenism gain an unfair advantage of other women because of their higher levels of naturally occurring testosterone.

This is a case that is expected to run most of the week.

“The arbitration proceedings are subject to strict confidentiality provisions and this information should not have been released‚” Semenya’s lawyers said in a statement.

“Ms Semenya believes the IAAF press release is a clear breach of the confidentiality provisions that was orchestrated in an effort to influence public opinion in circumstances where the IAAF knew that Ms Semenya would not be prepared to respond because she was complying with her confidentiality obligations.

“As a matter of fairness Ms Semenya raised this issue with the CAS and has been granted permission to publicly release information responding to the IAAF press release‚ including disclosing the experts who are testifying in support of Ms Semenya’s case.

“This information will be released tomorrow‚” he lawyers said.

Champion Caster Semenya is looking bold on the latest cover of Forbes Women Africa.

She took to Instagram to share the cover of the December issue.

The issue is therefore set to detail Caster’s life, and her winning against all odds.

She is currently fighting IAAF’s decision to introduce regulations for athletes with hyperandrogenism. This is because, it would require her to take medication to lower naturally occurring higher levels of testosterone.

Caster Semenya is on the list of the nominees for IAAF’s Female World Athlete of the Year.

Before the winner is announced on December 4th, the list of 10 nominees will be reduced to five.

Caster earned her nomination after dominating the 800m, winning the Commonwealth Games, African championships, Diamond League and Continental Cup.

She has been nominated for the award before, but has never won it.

The public has thus been urged to vote on the IAAF’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts. The public will make up 25% of the vote, the IAAF council 50% and the IAAF ‘family’ 25%.

Voting closes on November 12th.

Caster Semenya is the new Discovery Vitality ambassador.

She will thus represent Discovery Vitality joining other ambassadors such as Olympian Chad le Clos and Wayde van Niekerk.

Semenya was evidently elated at landing this ambassadorial role.

“I am elated to be part of such a dynamic team. To represent a brand that echoes my values on and off the track on the quest for a healthier lifestyle and inspiring action in others. I have experienced many proud moments. A proudly South African company with a global rich backing me is one of my highlights this year.”

She has also been described by the Chief Marketing Officer at Discovery Firoze Bhorat, as a true national hero.

“Caster embodies Discovery’s values through her passion for sport‚ and by inspiring young people across the world to understand the importance of healthy lifestyle choices and physical activity‚” added Bhorat.

“Sport has a power to unite us all.

“And it helps young people to further their social‚ academic and leadership skills.

“Caster Semenya’s popularity‚ both on and off the track‚ has won her a place in the hearts of people the world over.

“She has a deep love for her country and is an immensely proud South African.

“Her physical and mental resilience‚ combined with her passion for sport make her a true national hero.”

Caster shared her Nike advert with fans on Monday, captioning the short video: “Too fast? Too bad. I was born to do this.”

The clip, narrated by Caster, shows her life playing out in reverse, starting with her as a world-renowned athlete and ending with her as a child.

“Will it be simpler if I stopped winning? Would you be more comfortable if I was less proud? Would you prefer I hadn’t worked so hard? Or just didn’t run? Or stopped at my first steps? That’s too bad, because I was born to do this,” she says in the video.

Caster Semenya made a stunning performance when she made it to the fourth-fastest time ever run in the women’s 800m. This was at the Diamond League in Paris on Saturday.

She dominated the run and reached the end clocking 1min 54.25sec, a stunt that left many in awe.

IAAF rules

This was a perfect time for Semenya who has been challenging IAAF’s rules on testosterone occurring in female athletes being introduced in November 1st.

Caster Semenya won gold at the Commonwealth games yesterday when she broke the 1,500m national record.

She knocked more than a second off Zola Budd’s national record of 4:01.81 set in 1984, by doing that in 4min 00.71sec.

“I knew when I got to the 800m mark and the time was 2:08.00 and thought I must just wait for the last 250m and I just had to maintain the pace,” she said after her win.

After breaking the record, Semenya has set herself up for a golden Games double.

The two medallists behind her, Beatrice Chepkoech of Kenya and Melissa Courtney of Wales also set their personal bests.

Semenya says she will try to break the 35 year old 800m world record, later in the week.

Caster Semenya and her wife looked stunning on the red carpet of the Laureus Sports Awards held on Tuesday night.

The event, which honours sporting individuals and teams who have excelled over the past year saw the couple travel to Monaco.

Caster wore a grey suit, white shirt, bowtie and white sneakers. Her wife wore a fitted black dress with silver embellishments.
