[LINK] Oscar Pistorius

[Roger Clarke]

The evening news carried reports about Oscar Pistorius - the 
double-amputee who is about to be banned from athletics competition 
because his prostheses have become orthoses and hence an unfair 
advantage.

Only 2-1/4 years ago this was less well-known, and I featured Oscar 
in the slides that accompanied an invited presentation at Ars 
Electronica in Linz:
