Amputee runner wins right to try for Olympic spot

unfair. sure, losing your legs is unfair.
but keeping him out of the olympics might "seem" unfair to him, but it IS unfair to hundreds of others who have tried.

its not fair the sameway a corked bat or steroids isn't fair. you can say its been harder for him, or its not as easy to run, or whatever... but it doesn't matter. the rules are set, its a race for able bodied humans, not mechanically altered ones. if he wins will it be his skill? or the equipment he gets to use? who will know?

when the olympic games began the athletes competed naked. presumably to avoid cheating and to make the "purity" of the result convincing. guess that goes out the window.

Jake--u have no idea what we go through with our "mechanically altered" bodies. When it happens to you or a loved one, I hope you change your views. We go up against ignorant people like you every day of our lives.
