I don't think human skin is resistent enough to stand the kind of efforts real flippers do, same for the bones, so I guess they'd have to add some support wires as bones and something else as the flippers, and I don't think the olimpic comitee would allow such an implant.

I don't think so...he has an unfair advantage...... so he won't be able to compete and then he'll just be that weirdo with flippered feet

They can, BUT you need a dorsal fin as well & THEY are banned by the IOC.
