Apparently the prosthetic legs they've come up with are more efficient than the real thing, according to one study, so they're not letting a double-amputee compete in the Olympics.

Its...kinda silly, don't ya think? :P If the study is right (which is debatable, I believe), I can see where they're coming from, but I 'unno. I still strikes me as funny.
