Uncertain future for Caster Semenya

Athletics South African star Caster Semenya´s future is still uncertain. The International Association of Athletics Federations has postponed the the new testosteron rules for five months. The new rules say that female competitors cannot have more than a certain level of testosteron in their body. But due to complaints from Caster Semenya, the most high profile of competitors affected, the IAAF has decided to delay the implemenatation of the rules. While some think the new rules are more fair to
other female athletes who don´t have such high levels of testosteron, others argue that this is unfair to athletes such as Caster Semenya.
