Annet Negesa height - How tall is Annet Negesa?

Negesa has a difference of sex development which results in high levels of testosterone in her body. Under rules set by the International Association of Athletics Federations, she had to reduce her testosterone levels in order to compete in the women's category. She had a consultation with a doctor which resulted in her undergoing a gonadectomy to remove her internal testes in 2012. Negesa later said the purpose of the surgery had been misrepresented to her, having been compared to a injection. The inadequate medical aftercare and physical and mental damage resulting from the surgery effectively ended her career. She returned to the track at the 2017 Ugandan Championships but completed the 1500 metres in 5:06.18 – nearly a minute below her best and a time which ranked her as a club level runner rather than an elite athlete.

As a junior (under-20) athlete, she won a team bronze medal at the 2010 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, an 800 m bronze at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics, and two gold medals at the 2011 African Junior Athletics Championships. She was named 2011 Athlete of the Year by Uganda Athletics Federation.
