Caster Semenya says there is a target on her back.<\/p>\n

“I’m targeted because I’m undefeated…I’m the best at what I do,” the 28-year-old said.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the two-time Olympic 800m champion was the keynote speaker at the Standard Bank Top Women Awards and Conference in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

The annual conference celebrates women who are advocates for gender empowerment in both the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n

In recent months, Semenya has made headlines following her legal battle with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).<\/p>\n

Last year, the IAAF introduced rules that force female athletes to regulate their testosterone levels.<\/p>\n

The association argues that high levels of testosterone creates an unfair advantage for female athletes.<\/p>\n

This would require Semenya to take medication because her body naturally produces higher levels of testosterone.<\/p>\n
