	Story on Oscar Pistorius This overturned a previous ruling by the IAFF. With this coming from the CAS, it looks as if this will be a final judgment and allow him the opportunity to attempt to qualify. Anyone got thoughts on this and the possible ramifications elsewhere? -----signature----- halibut gave me 15 respect points I think he's just trying to bribe his way towards victory in Forum Feud Sey's big brother "Faith will bring a way to the impossible"

	I just heard this on a Sportscenter update and I found it highly unusual. I agree with Tunick, this guy should be nowhere near the Olympics, and I'd be interested to hear what his fellow competitors have to say. -----signature----- "What good would it do me to switch tests with the guy who got the lowest score in the quarry?"

Having two amputations can't be fun. But I don't know that he should get to attempt to qualify for the Olympics. He still has to make the qualifying time, but it just doesn't seem fair to everyone else. I'm not sure if he's going to be selected for the relay, but I'm not entirely comfortable with that either. -----signature----- Once a Talon, always a Talon Talon Intelligence Squadron: Book 2! http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=28489742 Tales from the Intelligence Gala!
