I understand what you're saying about the human interest story not being the point here. (I'm just really impressed with Oscar as a person.) I thought the decision was overturned because there was no evidence that the Cheetah blades provided an advantage? If Oscar isn't allowed to run, then I don't think the Speedo swim team should be able to <a href="http://blog.sierratradingpost.com/in-the-news/can-a-speedo-really-break-olympic-records/"wear that new suit</a rel="nofollow"> that makes them go 3% faster... have you heard about that? Thanks for your comment! Hi Bryan,

They get caught up in the human interest story and forget that that doesn't matter. Anyway, I wish people would just focus on the blades. Whether or not those generate an advantage for Oscar should be the only question we concern ourselves with: http://optimaltraining.typepad.com/blog/2008/05/oscar-pistorius.html I also made a site about Oscar that has tons of biographical info, videos, photos, interviews, links, stats, polls, and even a place to debate the question of whether or not Oscar should be able to compete in the Olympics. I hope you'll check it out and join the debate! http://www.squidoo.com/oscar_pistorius I feel like most people who talk about this issue miss the point.
