After a Swiss court temporarily suspended a new IAAF ruling, Caster Semenya will not need to take testosterone-reducing medication to compete.

Last month's Olympic 800 m champion, 28, lost her challenge to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against introducing a testosterone level restriction in female runners.

The ruling would have affected women competing from 400m to the mile.

"I hope following my appeal I will once again be able to run free," she said.

"I am thankful to the Swiss judges for this decision."
