IAAF deny any Semenya medal deal
Semenya emerged from obscurity this summer and was at the centre of huge controversy at the championships in Berlin when it was revealed the IAAF had ordered her to take a gender test. Last night an IAAF spokesman contested the contents of a statement issued by South Africa’s Department of Sport and Recreation.
The department claimed the South African government, the IAAF and Semenya’s lawyers had agreed during their deliberations to the 18-year-old retaining her title and prize money.
