This is about the double-amputee sprinter from South Africa who's been ruled ineligible in this year's olympics.
The guy is a legend, and runs as fast as
anyone in his field, but those High-Tech Carbon Fibre blades that replace his lower legs, were deemed adventagous over the limbs of his able bodied competitors, thus making him run faster.
On the one hand... isn't this what the Paralympics is for - the'yre Athletes at the top of their game, competing one on one against the other on a world stage?
Or, should should this guy be in the able bodied Olympics, where potentially, he could break world records and take gold?
