Pistorius ‘is free to compete again’

Oscar Pistorius is free to compete for South Africa again, as long as his running doesn’t go against the ruling of the judge.

Pistorius, who is to be sentenced next month after being found guilty in the negligent killing of his girlfriend, could compete at any time because the South African Olympic committee has no regulations preventing someone with a criminal record from representing the country.

“As he stands right now, he’s free [to compete],” South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee chief Tubby Reddy told The Associated Press.
