Semenya says she's waited long enough
and intends to compete despite no gender test results having been released. 



Neither banned nor suspended as of now by the IAAF, Semenya protests that, "I have been subjected to unwarranted and invasive scrutiny of the most intimate and private details of my being."

Despite attempts by her legal advisers, they have had no response from the IAFF as to when she may be allowed to return to competition.

Semenya announced that, "My coach, agent and I will work closely together to identify and prepare for a limited number of athletics meetings over the course of the coming athletics season."

The vice chairman of the Diamond League circuit, Patrick Magyar, said, "I don't think any of the meeting directors will take any decision outside of the IAAF.  We don't have clearance. There has not been any discussion on it so far."

The athlete maintained, "I am of the firm view that there is no impediment to me competing in athletics competitions.  I will, however, continue to assist the IAAF with whatsoever they may require for their own processes and in this regard I have instructed my legal and medical team to work closely with, and continue negotiation with them for these purposes."
