Since when is being crippled an advantage?

Oscar Pistorius of South Africa--aka "Blade Runner"--was banned from the Olympic Games in January his prosthetic legs were deemed an "unfair advantage". The decision was overturned in May, but Pisotorius didn't qualify for the 400 race.

However, Pistorius is competing in the Paralympics, which last until the 17th. He won the 100 meter Gold Medal this week.
