Technology and the slippery slope Talk about irony. Within minutes of being upset by Brazil's Alan Oliveira in the final of the men's T44 200m, Oscar Pistorius claimed in this interview that he's "not running a fair race here". The crux of his argument, which he also stated yesterday before even losing this final, is that his rivals are artificially extending the length of their legs, andhe pointed out in this interview that "it's very clear that the guys have got very long strides".
