Removing the 'D word'
Description
The 2012 London Olympic Games will see Oscar Pistorius, a double-amputee Paralympic multiple gold medallist compete in the 400 m event, after he found himself at the centre of a legal maelstrom when the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) pre-emptively banned him from competing in the Olympic Games in Beijing, because of his use of prosthetic legs (carbon fibre blades nicknamed ‘cheeta’s). The case was taken to appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which ruled in favour of Pistorius, and this case study considers the arguments for and against such a ruling.
