Yeah you missed something. They're not allowed to compete

Semenya is able to compete per the Swiss ruling, however, was not invited.
Wambui is still subject to the CAS ruling and is not eligible.
The Swiss ruling to suspend the IAAF regulation was limited to Semenya only? How is that possible?
Semenya was not invited by Oslo or Rabat? Why? That does not seem right. Pretty prejudicial if you ask me. She is way faster than everybody in the field.

Semenya is the only one that filed an appeal to the CAS ruling.

Prejudicial... against Semenya.... Nooooo, that couldn't possibly be.
One of the women in Oslo has a SB of 2:05. Four of the women in the field never broke 2:00 in their life. It looks like the 800w in Oslo will also be pretty lame.

And a woman with the testosterone levels of a high school boy 50m out in front would make it less lame?

But, she doesn't and I don't know why people keep repeating things they hear. If you actually want to learn something, go read the other thread about Semenya and get educated.

Winning time in Oslo was 2:01.9. How slow will these races go.? They need to add Caster to the field in Rabat.

That's how clean women's races are supposed to look.

She WAS invited and flew there. The customs official found both viagra and maxipads in her luggage and were confused, so they sent her home.
It seems that Semenya was invited for Rabat. Then uninvited. Then invited again 2 days ago, making it impossible to actually get a flight to the race. So she won’t be there.
Only one woman in the race has a SB below 2:00. Let’s see how that race pans out without Semenya. Will it be even slower than Oslo?

When he runs under 1:44 then maybe they'll add him but not before that.

1:59.5... not as slow as Oslo, but still very slow. Only 2 women below 2:00. Caster please come back... Can Wambui, Ajok and Niyonsaba... also come back this season?
Full Eugene 800m field is not announced yet, but are any of them invited to run the 800m? I know that Caster is scheduled to run the 3000m, but she is wasting her time doing that event.
1:59 and the winner falls to her knees with exhaustion. Women's track is back!
Only the 5 people on lets run are obsessed with the time. In the real world no one knows the difference between a 2:00 and 2:10 800m. the only matter for viewers are interesting races with runners from many different countries

Wow, only 5? They sure spend a lot of times tracking world records, national records, PBs, SBs for the 5 people.

Lol exactly. That's what the women's 800 is supposed to look like
