Pistorius cleared for Olympic bid

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has overturned a ban on double amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius competing against able-bodied athletes – allowing him to immediately run in all International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) sanctioned events.

“I am thrilled with the panel’s findings and hope that it silences many of the crazy theories that have been circulating in recent months about my having an unfair advantage,” said Pistorius this afternoon.
