He has ever right as any one else. The thing is it is harder to run for an amputee because it requires more and different muscles to produce the same results. So he should be able to run in the Olympics.
Dont give up! if i was a double amputee i would not have the will power or the determination to fight for something he has both and is an inspiration to most! I think he is amazing and deserves to run in the olympics for all the effort he has put in!
I'm sorry but I don't think I could even walk on those things let alone run with them. I think learning to use them is a great achievement and he should be allowed to run in the Olympics.

Insane world where we think an double-amputee should be barred from a sport. How about you offer the supposed displace "normal" person their own double-amputation so they can get artificial limbs. See how stupid this argument has gotten?
Shame on The Olympic Committee. I wonder if any one of them realize the gargantuan and OLYMPIAN SPIRIT Oscar needed to overcome what others might call adversity.
Run Oscar Run, and WIN THE Olympic Gold for ALL HUMANKIND who reach deep down inside themselves to overcome stupidity and hubris!

definately dont think he has unfair advantage. he is a very courageous person. fair play to him!!!
He has earned the right, but what do his doctor's say about this type of exertion?

Let Oscar run
I was disgusted when I heard that this man would not be aloud to run, It shames the human spirit.
