Semenya solution to be reached by June

President of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Lamine Diack says a solution in the gender case of South African runner Caster Semenya will be reached by the end of June.



The 19-year-old Semenya has not run competitively since winning the women\'s 800-metre title at last year\'s world championships in Berlin. She underwent sex tests to determine whether she is eligible to compete as a woman.



The IAAF has repeatedly said it will not make any public comment on Semenya until the medical process is complete, and Semenya has agreed to wait for the results of her gender test to be released before competing.



Semenya, however, has said she plans to return to competition on June 24 at a meet in Zaragoza, Spain, though that remains unlikely unless her medical tests are finished.



In April, shortly after she was prevented from taking part in a meet in Stellenbosch, South Africa, Semenya insisted she would fight to compete but acknowledged her long-term plans in the sport remained in doubt.



Semenya destroyed the field to win the 800 at the worlds in Berlin last August. Her dramatic improvement in times and muscular build led the IAAF to order gender tests.



The IAAF has refused to confirm or deny Australian media reports that the tests indicate Semenya has both male and female sex organs.
