Blade Runner

Interesting debate. Man with no legs, runs on carbon fiber limbs. Does that give him an unfair advantage over abled body runners.

Oscar Pistorius is the guy's name. There is a wikepedia entry on him.

NY times did a good story on him. He does not see himself as disabled, and he has his sights set for the 2008 summer olympics.

"Still, the question persists: Do prosthetic legs simply level the playing field for Pistorius, compensating for his disability, or do they give him an inequitable edge via what some call techno-doping?" --excerpt NY Times

An open letter from Oscar's prostetist.

Oscar is a first class athlete in my book.
