Caster Semenya has been subjected to a media whirlwind since she stormed to gold at the World Athletic Championships in Berlin last summer.
Questions had been raised throughout the competition over the gender of the 800m champion. Many suggested that Semenya was a hermaphrodite, yet the claims currently still remain unproven.
Due to an ongoing investigation by the International Association of Athletics Federation, the South African Olympic Committee announced this week Semenya would be unable to compete in the imminent domestic season.
