Caster Semenya is likely to release the results of her gender tests herself, according to an Athletics South Africa (ASA) official.

"I have some suspicion that Caster, herself, will release the results of the medical process," ASA administrator Richard Stander said yesterday.

Stander regarded as a confidential client-doctor relationship that between 800-metre world champion Semenya and world athletics body, the IAAF, which oversaw her gender-verification tests last year, meaning only Semenya can release them publicly.

"This is how it is done with everyone else," Stander said, "so I don't see why she would be different.

"All over the world everyone is waiting, and I think it will be Caster who tells you guys (the media) the results."

Semenya, who has been waiting since August for clearance to run from the IAAF, was left out of South Africa's 56-strong squad for the African Championships in Nairobi beginning on July 28.

But the ASA said the 19-year-old athlete can still compete in Kenya, if she is cleared by the IAAF and proves her fitness in time.
