I Want to Like the Olympics, Really I Do, But...

...when I read stories like this one, it just makes me shake my head. Have they asked the guys running what THEY think? Recalling my days running track, the sprinters were all highly competitive, egotistical guys. Now, presumably some of the world's best are being kept form competing against a guy who has no legs? Can you imaging the shame potential here? Amputee sprinter: "I can't compete in the Olympics. They're all afraid of me beating them." The potential here is endless.
