Bilateral sprinter Oscar Pistorius, a Paralympic record holder
who was recently denied in his bid to compete using carbon-fiber
prosthetic running legs against able-bodied athletes, initiated an
appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) On February
13 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The International Association of
Athletics Federations (IAAF) recently disqualified him from
competing in all IAAF sanctioned events, including the upcoming
2008 Beijing Olympics. The appeal is being lead on a pro-bono basis
by a team of lawyers from international law firm Dewey &
LeBoeuf.
