Re: Oscar Pistorius in the Olympics

There is a separate Olympics for paraplegics. Why not just let him dominate there?

I understand and envy the guy for wanting to compete at the highest level, but he must accept that he doesn't fit the qualifications for the "regular" Games any more. He could easily have some new prosthetics designed to increase his performance.

People need to put their emotions aside when rules come into question.

Can this man compete with normal runners? Sure. Can he have an advantage because he can design his feet and manipulate his stride? Possibly.

It's reminding me of the controversy we had a few months back when the tranny wanted to compete in a beauty pageant. Miss Universe? The individuals don't remind me of each other but the reaction and decision-making process does.

Just put emotions aside and ask for facts. Was this person born a woman? NO! So should he be allowed to compete in a womens' event? NO!
