Double Amputee Will Compete For Beijing Olympics Save Email Print

A | A | A

(May 16, 2008)--Double-amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius will be allowed to compete for a place in the Beijing Olympics.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the 21-year-old South African is eligible to race against able-bodied athletes.

The verdict Friday overturns a ban imposed by the IAAF, which said Pistorius’ carbon fiber prosthetic blades give him a mechanical advantage.

CAS said the unanimous ruling goes into effect immediately.

Pistorius still must reach a qualifying time to run in the individual 400 meters at the Beijing Games, but he can be picked for the South African relay squad without qualifying.
