Two-time Olympic champion Caster Semenya revealed on Monday
that her cellphone number had been "hacked" by people who were
"asking for money".
Semenya said in a tweet that the hackers were demanding
money from her friends and family members.
"Alert!!! My MTN number has been hacked, anyone who
has my MTN number please don't use it no more, hackers are in control of it.
They are asking money from you all," she shared on Twitter on Monday
morning.
Semenya did not elaborate further on how the hackers were
communicating, using her mobile phone.
She first picked up suspicious behaviour on Friday,
announcing on Facebook that her WhatsApp had been hacked. "If you happen
to get/receive a message from me (on WhatsApp) requesting money... please do
not send any money to anyone," she said.
Semenya has been in the news across the world in the past
week after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected her appeal over
international athletics rules which seek to compel her to take medication to
lower her testosterone levels.
In her first race since losing her appeal over the
controversial ruling, Semenya easily won the 800 metres at the Doha Diamond
League meeting on Friday.
The victory could be her last over 800m with new IAAF rules
governing testosterone levels coming into operation on May 8. Sowetan
