Oscar Pistorius ‘not back in training’

Oscar Pistorius is not back in training and is “still in an extremely traumatised state,” his family said after a photograph of the ‘Bladerunner’ jogging round a track was printed in a South African newspaper.

Responding to reports that the athlete is back in training, his uncle Arnold Pistorius said that, although the 26-year-old had been out running, he is not on any “official training programme”.

The double amputee and six-time Paralympic sprint champion is awaiting trial for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February.
