Controversial Semenya runs season best

World 800m champion Caster Semenya ran a season's best time of 1 minute, 59.90 seconds to easily win her third comeback race here on Sunday as she rebuilds her career after her sex test ordeal.

The 19-year-old South African was back at Berlin's Olympic Stadium, where she won her world crown last August, only for the sport's governing body, the IAAF, to demand a gender test into her abnormally high levels of testosterone.

Having only been cleared to race again last month, Semenya looked comfortable at the World Challenge meet, her third since her comeback, and dipped below two minutes for the first time since coming back.
