Court clears Pistorius to compete abroad

Oscar Pistorius’s agent has said this summer’s World Athletics Championships is “on the radar” for the track runner after a judge said he could leave South Africa to compete in international events.

His agent Peet van Zyl did not rule out the possibility of Pistorius taking part in August’s event in Moscow.

“If he decides to run and goes there and if he qualifies — it is all ifs, ifs, ifs,” he said. “He hasn’t trained for more than eight weeks. He is a world-class athlete and he has to be prepared and he will not be under pressure to run.”
