Answer

Semenya was prevented from participating in the 400m, 800m, and 1500m events due to the rules that were put in place by the IAAF. These rules stated that athletes with high levels of testosterone must reduce their levels in order to compete in women's events. Semenya refused to take medication to lower her testosterone levels, and as a result, she was prevented from competing in these events.
