OSLO — Caster Semenya has bucked the controversy over her gender and has now targeted a successful Diamond League campaign in the run-up to the bid to defend her world women's 800m title in August.

"It wasn't easy to come back after the IAAF ban, but this was the goal," Semenya admitted ahead of Thursday's Bislett Games in Oslo, the fifth of the 14-leg IAAF Diamond League series.
