ATHLETICS Sha'Carri Richardson explains why she removed her wig before competing at the US Track and Field Championships
The removal of her wig raised different concerns with some Twitter users saying that she was throwing shade at the Jamaican sprinters.
The court also ruled that the South African runner was denied an “effective remedy” against that discrimination.
Semenya was the 2012 and 2016 Olympic champion in the 800 meters but was banned from running in that event in 2019 and this forced her not to defend her title at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
A statement issued by the ECHR on Tuesday read: "The Court found in particular that the applicant had not been afforded sufficient institutional and procedural safeguards in Switzerland to allow her to have her complaints examined effectively, especially since her complaints concerned substantiated and credible claims of discrimination as a result of her increased testosterone level caused by differences of sex development (DSD)."
The three-time World Champion put forward the argument that taking testosterone-reducing medication could endanger her health, adding that the ruling denied her and other athletes with DSD the right to rely on their natural abilities.
