...has announced that she (or he) will return to the arena of Athletic competitions.
According to reports:
South African Caster Semenya will return to competitive athletics on June 24 in a meeting in Zaragoza, Spain.
The 19-year-old, who stormed to victory in the women's 800 meters at the world championships last year, has not competed since claiming gold in Berlin, after which questions were raised about her gender.
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) asked Semenya to undertake a gender test but, despite the results of that test expected to be released last November, the IAAF announced last month that the case had still not been concluded.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Semenya said: "Together with my coach and agent, I have decided that I will return to competitive athletics at the EAA meeting to be held on June 24 in Zaragoza, Spain.
"I reiterate that, based on medical and legal advice, I am firmly of the view there are no impediments to me racing in female athletics competitions."
