Europe’s top human rights court has ruled in favour of Olympic champion Caster Semenya, saying courts in Switzerland should give her a new chance to fight a requirement that female athletes with naturally high testosterone take drugs to lower it.

World Athletics insists though that it stands by its rules, which will remain in place for now.
