体育仲裁院（CAS）驳回了两届奥运冠军卡斯特尔·塞门亚针对调节有性发育差异（DSD）的运动员睾丸酮水平的新规的上诉。
国际田径联合会（IAAF）声称，具有性发育差异的运动员的睾丸酮激素水平天生就比较高，让他们在田径竞赛上有竞争优势。
这条新规将于5月8日生效，要求具有性发育差异的运动员在6个月内降低他们的血睾酮水平。
如果性发育差异运动员今后想继续以女性性别参赛，他们必须在其后的运动生涯中继续保持这种低睾丸酮水平。
BBC报道，塞门亚称这些规定“不公平”，并说她想要“按与生俱来的方式，自然地奔跑”。
根据CNN报导，虽然体育仲裁院承认这条政策对塞门亚这样的高雄性激素运动员是有偏见的，但他们说「这种区别对待是实现国际田联在限制性竞赛中保存女子竞技体育完整性目标的必要、合理且相称的手段」

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has rejected double Olympic-champion Caster Semenya’s appeal against the new rules for regulating testosterone levels in athletes with difference in sex development (DSD).
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) claimed that athletes with DSD have higher levels of natural testosterone, which gives them a competitive advantage in field and track events.
The new regulations, which come into effect on 8 May, will require athletes with DSD to reduce their blood testosterone level for a 6 month period.
DSD athletes will be expected to maintain these levels continuously for the rest of their athletic career, should they wish to continue to compete as women.
BBC reported, Semenya said the rules were “unfair” and that she wanted to "run naturally, the way I was born."
Though the CAS found the policy prejudicial to hyperandrogenous athletes like Semenya, they said "such discrimination is a necessary, reasonable, and proportionate means of achieving the IAAF's aim of preserving the integrity of female athletics in the Restricted Events," CNN reported.
