Should a sprinter with (2) artificial legs be allowed in the Olympics?

A FAST South African sprinter, double amputee from below both his knee joints, was not allowed into the Olympics by the IOC today. They ruled he had an "advantage" over able-bodies with his Titanium prosthetics. Is this right, or did it just show how out of touch the Olympics is when they could have made a great example of inclusion?Should a sprinter with (2) artificial legs be allowed in the Olympics?
He should be allowed in if anything the prosthetics would be a disadvantage. They just don't want to see all the able bodied doped up runners get shown up by an amputee.
If you wighted up the possible advantages

and all disadvantages I still think there would be more disadvantages.



But Paralympic athletes have great sporting ability.



it takes more energy for amputees to run and they are not as stable as nature feet.Should a sprinter with (2) artificial legs be allowed in the Olympics?
it would seem that they have an advantage, because they dont have muscle fatigue or soreness in the legs. but that means that their arms would be working harder to lift the legs.

another down side is that their reaction time to the ground is poor, because there is no nerves in a artificial leg.
If the IOC rules that he has a competitive advantage, then he shouldn't be allowed to compete.



How is the IOC "out of touch?" Is it becoming more common for great sprinters to have prosthetics and the IOC is refusing to acknowledge this growing trend in the world?



I realize this is a special case. This guy is not a juicer. He didn't intentionally lose his legs so that he could get prosthetics. But that still doesn't mean he should be in the Olympics.Should a sprinter with (2) artificial legs be allowed in the Olympics?
Yes. That removed the last honor, if any, that was left in the Olympics.
There's an Olympics for disabled athletes for a reason (and what evidence is there to suggest that all able-bodied runners are "doped up", as opposed to disabled runners?).
Maybe. The legs do seem to be an advantage because amputees legs do not have aches and pains like other atheletes. However, there will alway be prejudice.
