Oscar Pistorius is free to compete for South Africa again, as long as his running doesn't go against the ruling of the judge, the Associated Press reports.
Pistorius, who is due to be sentenced next month after being found guilty in the negligent killing of his girlfriend, could compete at any time because the South African Olympic committee had no regulations preventing someone with a criminal record from representing the country.
“As he stands right now, he's free (to compete),” South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee chief executive Tubby Reddy said.
As long as competing didn't go against the ruling of the judge when she decided Pistorius' sentence next month, he could run for South Africa, Reddy said. Pistorius would only have to meet normal sports qualifying criteria.
