Caster Semenya is a three-time Olympic World Champion. She has broken several records and has collected a slew of gold medals. Back in 2010, British Magazine even included her in the list of “50 People That Matter 2010”.

However, her accomplishments and physique have raised questions about her sexuality. Even Fox News reporter Carley Shimkus labeled her as transgender on last Wednesday. Later the reporter issued an official apology.

Semenya has been facing lots of criticism and harassment about her body over the years. It is believed that her body naturally produces much more testosterone than a normal female.

Lately, The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has instructed her to take medication to reduce her testosterone level. Only then she will be able to participate in 800m.

Following the loss of her case against IAAF regulations, Caster Semenya tweeted a quote inferring she wants to walk away. Fans are now urging her to “never give up” and  “fight until the end”.
