Pistorius is at the centre of a debate that will shape the nature of sport for the next century. He wants to compete in the Olympic Games against able-bodied athletes, an ambition that has left officials groping for a workable criterion of fairness in the midst of technological advances that could redefine the limits of athletic endeavour for able and disabled athletes. In a nutshell, do Pistorius’s carbon-fibre legs represent unfair competition vis-à-vis their flesh-and-blood equivalent? What if able-bodied athletes start to wield technical aides of similar sophistication?
