Memo:
This article is interesting because it deals with something that we hear a lot about in sports. Each individual athlete has the right to train harder and eat better than the next. But in today?s world of athletics athletes are trying to take their ?game? to the next level. This is another case where and athlete has tired to give him self the advantage by making himself taller in order to win the sprint
In this case Postorius (the 17 year old runner) was using a prosthetic in a Paralympic game. The argument was that he was using prosthetic legs that made him unnaturally tall and gave him an unfair advantage. He has the rights to wear these however it violates the rules that would enable him to race fairly. This puts a negative view publicly on not only himself but the Paralympic games. It shows that Postorius like many major league baseball players who are under investigation do not care about their fellow athletes.
