But a ruling allowing her to compete has now been overturned.

Double Olympic champion Caster Semenya twice appealed against the new IAAF rule that prevents her from running in the 800m without medication. A Swiss court had suspended the ruling, but that has now been lifted.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,751 User: 12,915	Caster Semenya says she has "never really felt very supported" by other women in sport. South Africa's three-time world 800m champion will not defend her title in Doha in September after a setback in her challenge to the restriction of testosterone levels in female runners. "I'm targeted because I'm undefeated," the 28-year-old said. "Since I have been in sport, I have never really felt very supported, I've never felt recognised mostly by women." Talking as the headline speaker at a women's conference in Johannesburg, Semenya added: "I think it comes more into the international stage when you see your own rivals come with this, what can I call it, these rude responses in terms of me competing against them."

Dry, 31, has been suspended since May after being charged with "attempted tampering with any part of doping control". The case related to athletics' 'whereabouts' regulations. A National Anti-Doping Panel found that there had been no subversion of the doping control process after a hearing in London last month. While information provided by the double Commonwealth Games bronze winner was false, the panel ruled it was not fraudulent.
