| Africa Live: Gabon's Bongo goes on hunger strike over son's 'torture' - BBC News | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| The lawyers of double Olympic champion Caster Semenya say she "is feeling poised and confident" ahead of a crucial hearing on whether she should be required to reduce her testosterone levels before competing as a female. | |
| The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, will hear the case on Wednesday, before making a final ruling at a later date. | |
| "I hope that the court’s decision will pave the way for all athletes’ human rights to be fiercely protected, for once and | |
| for all, and inspire all young women to be and accept themselves in all their diversity," Semenya said in a statement released by her lawyers. | |
| Semenya, 33, was born with differences of sexual development (DSD), a group of rare conditions whereby a person's hormones, genes and/or reproductive organs may be a mix of male and female characteristics | |
| She was barred by the governing body World Athletics from competing in female track events without taking testosterone-reducing drugs. | |
| The South African believes World Athletics is showing discrimination against athletes with her condition. | |
| World Athletics has said its DSD regulations "are a necessary, reasonable and proportionate means of protecting fair competition in the female category". | |
