Track's proposed eligibility, transgender rules would completely ban Semenya and others
- World Athletics proposed new rules that would ban athletes like Caster Semenya, who have naturally high testosterone levels, from competing in female categories.

- World Athletics is consulting athletes on these changes until March 5, with a council meeting planned for late March to finalize the rules.
