Not necessarily. Maybe the prosthesis gave him enough of an advantage to make it to the Olympics in the first place. I don't mean to take away anything this guy has accomplished, the dude is amazing. My concern is that now the president has been set, where does it stop? Do they now need to some up with an entire new set of rules for prosthesis? How are they to be tested to ensure there is no extra "spring"?Advantage??? He never made it out of the semi-final round of the 400 m, so I think the question was answered.

Of course he's amazing, but we need to look beyond that. The Olympic Committee just opened a can of worms which could potentially cause a lot of controversy in the future.
