South African runner Caster Semenya remains defiant as she awaits a decision on her gender verification tests and athletics future. "I don't care about anyone else's decision," said the 800m world champion. "I'm the one who decides in the end if I'm going to run."
The 19-year-old Semenya has not run competitively since winning the women's 800m title at last year's world championships in Berlin.
Her dramatic improvement in times and muscular build led the International Association of Athletics Federations to order gender tests. The IAAF has said a ruling on her case is expected by the end of June.
