Written by Cloisters
Schona Jolly KC acting with Claire McCann for Caster Semenya and instructed by Norton Rose Fulbright, South Africa, and Tyr LLP, said:
“We are absolutely delighted for our client today. Caster has never given up her fight to be allowed to compete and run free. Today’s judgment is testament to her resilience and courage. This important personal win for her is also a wider victory for elite athletes around the world. It means that sporting governance bodies around the world must finally recognise that human rights law and norms apply to the athletes they regulate.”
