BBC Sport - Paralympics 2012: Oscar Pistorius apologises for timing of criticism

Was this meant for General?

No , I think that is potentially an issue here, if you can increase your stride by increasing the length of your blade then that is unfair.

Its needs to be looked at IMHO.

This is the reason i can't get excited about the paralympics, there will always be some doubt about the level of disability of some contestants.

Yeah sorry all - first day back from hols...blame it on jetlag

Well there is a set limit that the Brazilian has complied with and Oscar could have had the same length blades if he wanted. Makes me laugh as this is the guy that is happy to shrug of the same comments and be supported by everyone when running in the full Olypmics even though he has a scientifically proven advantage in a straightline over a fully able sprinter. Oscar has gone right down in my estimation for sure.

Whilst I agree in theory with Oscar's point, I also agree with NLUK on this.

The Brazilian complied with the rules as laid out by the governing body, whether or not the regulations need changing is a discussion for a different time and place - not when you've just been beaten into second.

Is that not part of his point though? He can't have the same length as them as he only has approval to use the ones he used in the able-bodied Olympics which are in proportion with the rest of his body?

What further annoys me is all this has taken the spotlight off Blake Leeper lunging for the line and getting bronze, also on dual blades. Not just him but the rest of the field that were not on dual blades when they have been proven to give an advantage. I think I will demote Oscar from a disappointment to a tosser.
