Semenya to make return in June

Caster Semenya has confirmed that she will return to competitive action in Spain on 24 June. The South African, who underwent gender verification tests, has not raced since winning 800m gold at the world championships in Berlin last August.

The results of Semenya's tests last year were first expected in November but the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) announced last month that the case had still not been concluded.
