Caster Semenya claps back at haters

Johannesburg – Sport star Caster Semenya has fired back at haters with a Twitter post on Thursday letting everyone know exactly how she feels.

The athlete has made headlines after the IAAF issued new eligibility regulations for female classification which greatly impact her, among others (read the full story here).

But Caster is not letting any of that get her down.

“I’m 97% sure you don’t like me, but I’m 100% sure I don’t care,” a tweet shared by the star reads.

Many of the Caster's fans have also stepped up to defend the star, demanding that she be left alone.

They have tried many times to break Caster's spirit and to stop her from doing what she was born to do: win.

She won't stop winning now. Fly Caster fly???? #CasterSemenya pic.twitter.com/i0572QEcgG

It's appalling that IAAF reportedly wants to force Caster Semenya to either take drugs to lower her testosterone levels or compete in longer distances. This is yet another way of oppressing women, especially strong African women who are outperforming the rest. pic.twitter.com/eW12PXlOAj
