Bilateral amputee Oscar Pistorius can try to qualify for the
Beijing Olympics after winning his appeal against a ban at the
Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the South African said on
Friday, May 16. The International Association of Athletics
Federations (IAAF) ruled in January that runner Pistorius could not
compete with able-bodied athletes because the carbon-fibre blades
attached to both legs gave him an advantage.
