These are the main stages of the story that involves the disabled athlete Oscar Pistorius and the International Athletics Federation (IAAF):
July 2007 - After Oscar Pistorius competed with able-bodied athletes in the two international meetings Rome and Sheffield, the IAAF announced its intention to conduct an analysis on South African biomechanics to check the impact of implants in its results. The choice of the IAAF to conduct an inspection of the 'athlete was the fact that Pistorius had expressed an interest to compete with non-disabled peers even in the Olympics, but some experts in carbon fiber implants could give some advantage to the rider and alter the results.
November 13, 2007 - In Cologne were completed tests on Pistorius led by professor Gert-Peter Brueggemann, and scientists have begun to analyze the results.
December 19, 2007 - In an interview with German newspaper Die Welt, Brueggemann said, "Pistorius has an advantage over those who do not use the prosthesis, and I did not expect that would be etched. We examined the fourteenth century, he and five others who have similar times to his Oscar has a lower aerobic capacity than their anaerobic capacity and the same, which means that if the same results it did because it was favored by the prosthesis. These are carbon fiber, and at every support, return 90% of the energy transmitted to the track instead of 60 as a human foot. "
January 11, 2008 - Pistorius announced in a press conference will not abandon the project to participate in the Beijing Olympics even if the Federation internazionale di atletica leggera darà parere negativo. «Nei confronti di tutti i disabili ho la responsabilità di tenere duro. Non possiamo permettere che un'istituzione ci vieti di gareggiare a causa di protesi senza cui non possiamo camminare. Se la Iaaf dovesse escludermi dalle sue manifestazioni, presenterò appello ai massimi livelli».
14 gennaio 2008 - La Iaaf ha emanato la sentenza di esclusione di Pistorius dalle proprie competizioni perchè i test condotti dimostrano che l'atleta trae vantaggio dall'uso delle protesi.
13 febbraio 2008 - Viene depositato al Tribunale arbitrale dello sport di Losanna l'appello di Pistorius contro la decisone della Iaaf.
1 aprile 2008 - The CAS has set for 29 and April 30 hearings on the case Pistorius.
April 30, 2008 - were concluded hearings to the CAS to rule on the appeal by Pistorius against exclusion by the IAAF.
May 16, 2008 - the CAS overturned the decision of the IAAF and has agreed with that Pistorius can compete with able-bodied at the Beijing Games if he gets the minimum required for qualification. The IAAF had carried out a study through the use of experts from the University of Cologne, said that the carbon fiber prosthetics that Pistorius runs with "the offer clear mechanical advantages and thus can not participate in competitions that take place under the 'aegis the IAAF, "but the test was not taken into account some specific factors.
THE JUDGEMENT - These are the main steps of the CAS's rulings on Pistorius, "the IAAF Council's decision of 14 January 2008 is revoked with immediate effect and Oscar Pistorius is eligible for the events of the IAAF. It can use the Ossur Cheetah Flex-Foot prosthesis, the same used in the tests required by the IAAF and exhibited at the CAS hearing. The committee of the CAS ruled that the IAAF failed to prove wrongdoing by Pistorius rule 114.2 (e). Based on the evidence placed by experts in both parties, the Board did not believe there was sufficient evidence of any metabolic advantage of a person with two amputations using the Cheetah Flex-Foot. Furthermore, the Board of Tas considered that the IAAF failed to prove that the biomechanical effects of using special implants to give Pistorius an advantage over athletes not using them. The committee of the CAS pointed out that the application of its decision relates only to Oscar Pistorius and only use that type of prosthesis. The Committee does not exclude the possibility that in future, with new scientific knowledge, the IAAF will be able to demonstrate that the Cheetah Flex-Foot prosthetics give Pistorius an advantage over other athletes. "
Thanks to the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Oscar Pistorius can groped to qualify for the Beijing Olympics. The race on which the tip is in the 400 meters, which has a staff of 46. "46 In 2007 he ran the distance in 46" 56, but to make the trip to China to get the time of 45 "95, which B say the minimum set by the IAAF.
July 3, 2008 - Oscar Pistorius does not get the minimum time to qualify for the Olympics in Beijing among the gifted. participates, then, at the Paralympics where he won gold in the 100, 200 and 400 mt.
