You're right, I am joking about a bit, but you need to recognize that I did not say his missing legs were a disadvantage, just that others had access to something he did not. I acknowledge that these prosthetics give him an advantage. So your argument is that only an unmodified human can compete fairly? What if a guy was just missing his arms? He could run a lot faster with less weight, should he be barred from competing?

....shakran get out of my head, please.
