I don't know if this guy should be allowed in the Olympics or not, in fact I really don't care that much, but one thing I find funny is "They have their own" No they don't, winning the special olympics really doesn't have much value, they aren't going to get a Nike contract if they win the special olympics, they aren't going to become superstars in their home country, its no the same as the olympics. Pretending that a lesser event is equal to the main event is not really any different than arguing seperate but equal for blacks and whites. If the Olympic comittee is really concerned with fairness, maybe it should create some legs that it considerers 'official' olympic legs, they have certain requirments for balls, uniforms, equipment, and every other aspect, why not create 'fair' legs.

It's funny how people end up arguing an issue and overlooking a solution. Thank you.

I like the idea of setting a standard of prostheses that would be allowed that wouldn't give a distinct advantage to the users. There would have to be a very strict process in place for evaluation of these prostheses, but I definitely think it could work and would allow elite athletes to compete on the highest stage despite their disabilities.

Quick note though, you confused the Special Olympics with the Paralympics

"Special Olympics is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physically fit, productive and respected members of society through sports training and competition." <link>

"Today, the Paralympics are elite sport events for athletes from six different disability groups. They emphasize, however, the participants' athletic achievements rather than their disability." <link>
