Doha Diamond League 2019: Caster Semenya Wins 800m Race in first since Gender Ruling Defeat

Caster Semenya won the 800 meters at the Doha Diamond League 2019 in her first race since losing her appeal over a controversial gender ruling, claiming "actions speak louder than words".
The South African, a 2-time Olympic champion, timed 1 min 54.98 sec to defeat Burundi's Francine Niyonsaba, who clocked 1 min 57.75 sec and Ajee Wilson of the United States in 1 min 58.83 sec.
Semenya's victory could be her last over 800m before the new International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) rules governing testosterone levels come into operation on 8th May.
