Advantages of Disadvantage
There was a time when a legless man would only qualify for the Paralympics. Oscar Pistorius, who had both legs amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old, is hoping to qualify for the Beijing Olympics, as "the fastest man on no legs." He runs on curved blades that some argue, give him an unfair advantage. The debate has started a conversation among athletes about the line between correction, and enhancement. What constitutes an unfair advantage? Pistorius' bouncy blades, Tiger Woods lasik eye correction?
