Johannesburg - The South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee will make the the results of their investigations into Athletics SA's handling of the Caster Semenya gender tests public next week, according to a report on the Sowetan website.
Sowetan has learnt that SASCOC have completed their investigations into the matter, a process which took more than six months.
The ASA matter was discussed by the SASCOC executive board last week, where a decision was also taken to bid for the 2020 Olympic Games.
"We are not going to make the findings public until the matter has been discussed with the minister of sport," said SASCOC president Gideon Sam.
Sowetan sources say Sam is still to meet minister Makhenkesi Stofile and lawyers to avoid a possible legal battle with the suspended ASA board, led by Leonard Chuene.
Sowetan has also learnt that some of the suspended members have taken the matter to arbitration as provided for in the SASCOC constitution. The members say SASCOC acted unlawfully in taking action against them and taking over the running of the sport.
The ANC Youth League has also stepped in, calling on SASCOC to reinstate Chuene and the suspended board after being exonerated of any wrongdoing by the IAAF.
The league promised to engage SASCOC as they believe Chuene can still run ASA, which has since been plunged into financial crisis.
