Europe court finds Switzerland breached Semenya's right to a fair trial

STRASBOURG, France - The European Court of Human Rights has ruled in favour of Olympic champion Caster Semenya.

The court upheld the 2023 ruling that the South African middle-distance runner Semenya's rights had been violated.

This ruling thus allows Semenya her legal challenge against World Athletics to continue.

The ruling comes nearly two years after deliberations began.
