Semenya, who twice won the 800-meter race, has been barred from competition until she takes a test to prove she is actually a woman after many began to question her gender.
The runner has refused to take any such tests claiming that the requirement is a violation of her human rights and an act of discrimination.
I just want to run naturally, the way I was born, Semenya said, according to the New York Times. It is not fair that I am told I must change. It is not fair that people question who I am.
