SEMENYA SET TO RACE IN BERLIN

Caster Semenya is relishing the prospect of returning to Berlin's Olympic Stadium after "11 really hard months" in which she was left out in the cold after doubts about her gender.

The South African was famously crowned 800 metres champion at the World Athletics Championships last August, only to be subsequently banned by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

She was cleared to return seven weeks ago and returned with back-to-back victories at low-key meetings in Finland, the first time she had taken part competitively since the furore surrounding her began.
