Yoda (the small brown mouse on the left) was the world's oldest mouse. It lived for 4 years and 12 days, or double the average lifespan of a regular mouse. Yoda's secret? No, not calorie-restricted diet. Instead, Yoda was the result of selective breeding - this strain of mice stay smaller and age more slowly. Link Another strain of mice, bred to have a more active anti aging protein called Klotho, live between 19% to 31% longer than normal mice. http://www.betterhumans.com/News/4514/Default.aspx |

I think Mr. Gailey is right. The other athletes just don't want to be beaten by someone who's less than "perfect".
I applaud him for trying, and it sucks that he's a double amputee ... but you've got to keep the Olys pure.
It would seem having a handicap is handicapping afterall... go figure.
Unless all the runners are going to run barefoot and naked anything can be considered an unfair advantage.
