The South African Medical Association, SAMA, says it welcomes the call by the World Medical Association that physicians around the world should not take part in implementing new eligibility regulations for classifying female athletes. The global body referred to the case involving South African olympian, Caster Semenya, who has had to undergo gender verification testing to confirm her eligibility to compete in the women's division. The regulations from the International Association of Athletics Federations, IAAF require women athletes with specific differences in sex development to medically reduce their natural blood testosterone level if they wish to continue racing as women in a few restricted events. The Court of Arbitration for Sport is due to issue a decision on the IAAF regulations this week.
