The South African, who won 800 metres gold at the World Championships in August, is waiting to hear whether she can continue competing as a woman after being asked to undergo gender tests.
 

A decision was expected this weekend but the IAAF issued a statement to say no announcement was imminent.
 

It read: "The IAAF, the South African Ministry of Sport and Recreation and Caster Semenya's representatives have been and still are in discussions with a view to resolving the issues surrounding Caster Semenya's participation in athletics.
 

"The IAAF will not comment upon the medical aspects of Caster Semenya's case.

 

"The medical testing of the athlete is still to be completed.
 

"There will be no discussion of Caster Semenya's case at the forthcoming IAAF Council meeting to be held in Monaco on 20-21 November 2009.

 

"No further comment will be made on this subject until further notice."
