IAAF seeking to cut Blade Runner from Olympics relay

‘BLADE RUNNER’ Oscar Pistorius may take legal action against the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) amid reports they are trying to exclude him from South Africa’s Olympic team.

The sprinter, who has prosthetic legs, was cleared by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in May to compete against able-bodied athletes after winning his appeal against the IAAF who barred him from doing so at the beginning of the year.

Now Pistorius has consulted his lawyers after senior IAAF officials allegedly stated that he represented a danger to athletes, particularly in the 4x400metres relay.
