Oscar Pistorius beaten by Alan Oliveira in 200m

Plus if it gave him such an advantage as you all say then why didn't he dominate his races.

Just saying do some research on a person before you start saying things that are not true, Oscar worked just as hard as everyone else to get to the Olympics

Oliveira won in 21.45 seconds after overtaking Pistorius at the line at Olympic Stadium in front of a capacity 80,000-strong crowd.

Pistorius said Oliveira's artificial legs - known as blades - are too long.

The South African was overhauled by the 20-year-old in the final 20 metres as Oliveira won in 21.45 seconds, with Pistorius second in 21.52.

"We are not running in a fair race here," Pistorius told Channel 4.
"I'm not taking away from Alan's performance but I can't compete with Alan's stride length.
