Pistorius could compete at Rio 2016

The South African, 27, was found guilty of culpable homicide on Friday after the judge ruled he killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp by mistake.

Sentencing will take place on 13 October, but Pistorius could compete at Rio if he has served his sentence.

"We wouldn't stand in his way," said IPC spokesman Craig Spence.

Pistorious, nicknamed Blade Runner, won six gold medals at three Paralympic Games andmade history by becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics.

IPC director of media and communications Spence said that the organisation's thoughts were with the family and friends of Steenkamp.

But he said the IPC would not block Pistorius if he had served his sentence and wanted to compete at Rio.

"Providing he serves his sentence then he will be free to compete in IPC competitions going forward," Spence told BBC chief sports correspondent Dan Roan.

"Oscar would need to decide first whether he wanted to compete and then he would need to be selected by the South African National Paralympic Committee.

Kanye, Diddy, Rick Ross -- Kings Of Rap Ripped Me Off ... Claims Artist

     

      Atlanta rapper 9gotti's got himself some brass ones -- firing off a legal threat to 3 powerful rap icons -- Kanye West, Diddy and Rick Ross -- warning them to quit jacking his music.   At issue ... a French Montana track called "Gucci Mane" -- which Kanye helped produce. Chinga Chang Records claims the song belonged to 9gotti ... before Yeezus and the others stole it from him.  The record label sent a cease and desist letter that's pretty comical ... saying the ripoff may have been a "drunken oversight." It also takes a shot at Diddy -- accusing him of being a music thief -- and says Rick Ross should know better because he's an ex-correctional officer. According to the letter ... French's song and 9gotti's tune are nearly identical. French's version hasn't been released yet ... and Chinga Chang is dead-set on making sure it never comes out.   TMZ
