Caster Semenya says she is undeterred by the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision to reject her case against the IAAF.
Double-amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius says the 2012 London Olympics may be a more realistic goal than qualifying for the Beijing Games. Pistorius has returned to South Africa following a Court of Arbitration ruling that cleared him to compete against able-bodied runners.
Double-amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius won his appeal on Friday and can compete for a place in the Beijing Olympics. The Court of Arbitration (CAS) for Sport ruled that the 21-year-old South African is eligible to race against able-bodied athletes, overturning a ban imposed by the International Association of Athletics Federations.
South African double amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius should know within three weeks if he can compete at the Beijing Olympics, an official for the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Wednesday. ”We have been asked to deliver a decision as soon as possible,” CAS secretary general Mathieu Reeb said on the last day of Pistorius’s two-day hearing.
