What about when that African bloke Caster Semenya tried to get away with dressing as a woman? That's proper cheating, that is.

@MistressArte Yeah, like having your lungs replaced with shark gills....or getting a lion's heart...or hawk's eyes...
Amazing!

This is one of those rare occasions when I side with Karl Pilkington's opinion.

@StanMarsh1 If you discriminate against some things it doesn't feel fair really that other things aren't discriminated against just because we can't physically see them. What should good for the goose should be good for the gander.

No. For the reason that if you can join with "helping apparatus'" then it should be allowed for everyone.
On the other hand you should then only run on bare feet. So some apparatuses are allowed.

@mnewf2002 good, we are on the same page then. :)
Well what if someone tore their muscle and got another species muscle transplant or a valve in their heart?

I don't get you thinking that sporting want to show that no ones better(in the cotex of the 100m faster) than any one else. if only one paralympian can keep up with the able-boded athletes than he is better you may as well say them not letting me in the tour de france because I'd have to get off my bike and push it up is a unfair
I don't know what the answer is but it not based on this idea that we all have are own talents and everyone's a winner

@hens0w Of course everyone is not a winner, just that we all have our abilities and skills, even if they are lacking. If everyone is a winner, it would completely take away from any real achievements. Watching someone win a gold medal in the Olympics is one of the reasons I watch it, it's a great competition.
