PARIS, June 15 — Two-time Olympic champion Caster Semenya will not run her specialist 800m distance at Rabat tomorrow despite having received an invitation to do so, in the latest twist of her bitter court battle over gender rules.

"She received an invitation but is unable to organise her schedule to come to Rabat,” organiser Alain Blondel told AFP.
