The South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) has announced that charges will be brought against "certain individuals" at Athletics South Africa (ASA) over the Caster Semenya scandal.
"The charge sheets are now being completed out of the final forensic audit report and the initial investigating report in the Caster Semenya issue," SASCOC said in a statement.
"The charge sheets will be issued to those individuals that are to be charged and the first sitting of the disciplinary inquiry is scheduled for September 9 and 10, 2010."
Last week, SASCOC said the audit had uncovered poor corporate governance, the alleged misappropriation of funds and tax evasion.
Eight ASA board members, including president Leonard Chuene, were suspended last November after allegations of financial management and criticism of ASA's handling of the Semenya affair before the audit was completed.
Semenya sat out 11 months after becoming the 800 metres world champion because of a dispute over gender tests that began soon after her victory in Berlin last August.
Chuene has admitted to lying about the gender tests performed in South Africa on the then 18-year-old runner before the World Championships, claiming he was trying to protect Semenya.
SASCOC also promised it would fight an action by Chuene and two other ASA officials, who are seeking arbitration over their suspensions.
