[i]"The IAAF had ruled in January that the 21-year-old Pistorius could not compete with able-bodied athletes because the carbon-fibre blades attached to both legs gave him an advantage."[/i]

What the fuck makes these clowns tick...

Yes, complete with hockey helmets. I can't stop laughing at the conclusion of the IAAF that a guy with no legs has an advantage over able bodied athletes by virtue of his prosthetics.

LOL, I was listening to the national news in the car today and they used the term "bionic man" Can't wait for the slow motion replay and the background sound effects from 6million dollar man. [:D]

Part of an article on the history of the paralympics. This occured in the 2000 games, sounds like the inspiration for the movie "The Ringer".



"And so to Sydney, the first city in the southern hemisphere to host the Paralympics. A staggering 132 countries took part with rugby and wheelchair basketball given full medal status, but the Games was not without some controversy.

Joy soon turned to shame when Spain's intellectually disabled basketball team were stripped of their medals after an investigation by the Spanish Paralympic Committee proved only two out of their 12 players suffered from a mental disability."
