  • Re: Oscar Pistorius allowed to compete in regular Olympic Gamesafter all

    I wonder if the design and specification of the prosthesis are free to be altered
    for much better performance, especially the authority that sets standards with regards to length shape thickness of these blades for bilateral TT amputees.
    Thanks

    Well he has won his appeal and will now be allowed to compete in 2008
    Olympics after all. Here is the link:
