The Pistorius Problem

Sorry to hear that mate.

Tanni Gray Thompson (UK’s greatest paralympian) has also slammed the Pistorius decision as she feels it actually undermines disability sports.

Best of luck to Pistorius – he is absolutely brilliant.But his legs are artificial whereas no other athlete can use such ‘artifical’ aids to run thus he is competing under a means/rule which is not fair to all or equal.It’s nothing to do with disability sports per se but actually just the actual facts – one man gets to use technology which cannot be used by all the other runners.To me, that is not fair.
