Lost in all the controversy surrounding Oscar Pistorius is the fact that
nobody on the Rice research team took a "position" on whether or not he
should be competing in able bodied competition.
As Weyand and Bundle noted in the introduction to their position statement:
"Two aspects of the perspective we bring are relevant. First, we respect
Oscar Pistorius for his unique and unprecedented accomplishments as an
athlete and for the general demeanor he has maintained through a protracted,
public and trying ordeal. Second, despite many media reports that we are "for"
Mr. Pistorius, and many others that we are "against" him, we are, in
fact, neither. We have never held an opinion on whether Mr. Pistorius should be
eligible to compete alongside intact-limb athletes or not. As scientists
our role is to provide sound, data-based, conclusions on the basis of our
scholarly expertise and nothing more. Policy decisions, whatever these may or
may not be in response to scientific analysis, are appropriately left to
the policy makers."
