Excerpt from newspaper:
There's nobody in the world like him -- and it may stay
that way for the next maybe 10, 20 years."
But the controversy over Pistorius' legs, and whether they
constitute an unfair advantage, has recently turned ugly.
Pistorius this week accused the IAAF of discriminating against handicapped people, something the organisation denies.
Moreover, he says the debate about whether his limbs are
unfair has cast a shadow over handicapped sports generally.
More.......On Friday, Pistorius finished second in a B race at the Golden Gala meet in Rome, giving the I.A.A.F. the opportunity to analyze race footage. Davies said the I.A.A.F. found that Pistorius appeared to accelerate in the second half of the race and took less time between strides than an able-bodied runner. end quote
People are claiming he should be disqualified for having a "technology enhanced advantage" over the abel bodied - (boo hoo)
