āIt would be better for athletics and athletes if Sebastian Coe focused on real cheaters instead of focusing on rare but completely natural biological variations in women or the transgendered athletes who are supposedly waiting to take womenās medals. It would be even better if the sporting powers focused on the things that women really need to become better athletesāthey can start with equitable pay, making sure we can do our jobs without being harassed physically and mentally, creating a system where resources are distributed fairly.ā (Semenya āThe Race To Be Myselfā, p.295)
āI think of marathoner Eliud Kipchogeās words on his success: āLearn to say no, learn self-discipline, avoid complaining.
