Caster Semenya
The new regulations, known as the testosterone regulations, have drawn worldwide criticism with South Africa's law professor, Steve Cornelius, resigning from the global athletics body's disciplinary tribunal because he could not in "good conscience continue to associate myself with an organisation which insists on ostracising certain individuals, all of them female, for no reason other than being what they were born to be".
Under the new rules, female athletes will have to reduce and then maintain their testosterone levels to no greater than 5nmol/L if they want to compete in events ranging from 400m to a mile.
Firing a warning at its mother body, the ASA said it would take the matter back to court if the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) did not scratch its controversial rule restricting athletes with hyperandrogenism.
Semenya, who was allegedly being targeted by the new IAAF regulations, also received vocal support from Greek pole vaulter Katerina Stefanidi, who said she "felt bad" for the world 800m champion.

Kuala Lumpur-Singapore now world's busiest worldwide route
The only long-haul route to crack the top 20 list is New York JFK to London Heathrow, which sees an average of 38 daily flights. On the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore route, the most punctual carrier was Scoot and the least punctual, Malaysia Airlines, said OAG.
Courtesy of new rules announced last week, Semenya and other female athletes with excess testosterone in their system - a group that the sport's governing body, the IAAF, have termed Athletes with Differences of Sexual Development - will be forced to take medication to lower their hormone levels from November 1 if they are to compete in certain disciplines.
The national federation said it had studied the regulations and had consulted with government, as well as the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) and "expert institutions". With AP Photos.Track and field authorities in South Africa say they are prepared to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to challenge new rules that could sideline women with high natural testosterone levels from middle-distance races.
"On 24 July 2015 these regulations were suspended by CAS who stated that they were not satisfied with the evidence the IAAF provided, but allowed the IAAF up to two years (later extended) to submit additional evidence on the correlation between endogenous levels of testosterone and athletic performance".
"Until further notice, ASA will not be making any further comments on this matter".
