Should athletes with prosthetics be allowed to complete against able-bodied athletes?
There was controversy at the 2012 London Olympics when double-amputee Oscar Pistorius competed using the latest technology 'blade' prosthetics, which some questioned gave him an unfair advantage. Do you think such a thing should be allowed in the future?
There is no doubt that disabled athletes should be allowed to compete at the elite level, however it needs to be determined if it is fair for able-bodied to compete against disabled athletes who are using technology to aid their performance.
