Major Caster Semenya Sponsor Stands Behind Athlete After Testosterone Ruling

Discovery Ltd., Africa’s biggest health insurance company, said it remains “resolute” in its support of Caster Semenya, the two-time Olympic 800-meter track champion from South Africa who is an ambassador for its Vitality fitness and health program.

On May 1 the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that female track athletes with naturally elevated testosterone levels must suppress the hormone to be allowed to compete in certain events, in a case Semenya has said was targeted at her.
