Re: Oscar Pistorius – Can Emi into World Championship?

When does it stop being "fine for him to compete"? Easy, when it's no longer fair. Of course advances in prosthetic technology will eventually surpass natural human limits. But this is in the future . Right now he is on par with the other runners, so its still fair. This goes directly to ...
