If Caster Semenya can keep her medal, why shouldn't India's Santhi get hers back?

Indian athlete Santhi Soundararajan's 2006 medal should be returned to her if Caster Semenya is allowed to keep hers, an Indian athletics official says.

Soundararajan was stripped off 800m silver at the Asian Games after failing a test and later attempted suicide.

Tests on Semenya, who won 800m gold at the world championships in Berlin last month, are likely to show that she has an "inter-gender condition".

BBC Sport understands that Semenya will not be stripped of her medal. More...
