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?
