Track and field: The sport’s governing body will not apply rules to limit natural testosterone levels in female runners until the Court of Arbitration for Sport concludes an appeal case brought by Olympic champ Caster Semenya. The IAAF said it agreed to postpone the intended Nov. 1 start for eligibility rules until CAS gives a verdict “expected on or before” March 26. That target date is six months and two days before the start of the 2019 world championships. If the IAAF’s rules for athletes with differences of sex development (DSD) are upheld by the court, female runners will be forced to medicate to reduce their testosterone levels for six months before racing internationally from 400 meters through the mile. Semenya is the current 800meter world champ and a likely favorite for a fourth world title to add to her two Olympic gold medals. The IAAF expects a February appeal hearing for Semenya, who could have sought an interim ruling from CAS to freeze the rules if the track body pressed ahead with its planned start date.
