Semenya's Right to a Fair Hearing Violated - ECHR
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that 800m runner Caster Semenya's right to a fair hearing was violated after a South African court ordered her to take medication to reduce her testosterone levels. The ruling states that Semenya's rights were violated during the South African legal proceedings, specifically citing that the hearing should have been open to the public and that Semenya should have been granted legal assistance. The ECHR will not examine the merits of the case, leaving the original decision of the South African court to limit Semenya's testosterone levels in place.
