In a recent ruling from the International Association of Athletics Federations, Oscar Pistorius has been ruled ineligible to qualify and compete for the able-bodied Olympics. He had already dominated the paralympic sprint events.
Studies conducted by German professor Gert-Peter Brueggemann were cited by the ruling body as evidence that the prostheses provide him with a competitive advantage.
The New York Times had a fantastic analysis of this sports ethics dilemma.
Should he be able to compete?

Pfff. As if:
1) The other competitors aren't on steroids anyway;
2) Anyone gives a crap about the Olympics anymore.
How quickly we forget the lessons of Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, (and this is the important one) Terminator 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES, and (to a lesser extent) The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
RISE OF THE MACHINES, PEOPLE!!!
if we let him race then we have to let night rider race in NASCAR and let the bionic Woman do the Decathalon
Having legs > prosthetic limbs.
