I disagree. His artificial legs can be either an advantage or disadvantage, but either way, it creates unfair competition.
At the last Olympics, those polyurethane super swim suits created a stir because it gave an unfair advantage, so they were banned. I'm not saying it's the same thing, but if something like a swim suit can create controversy, then springy blade legs might too.
Also, on a related note - some people were saying the blind archer guy's blindness is an unfair advantage. They said the 20% vision that he has left allows him to focus and only see the target (I think they mean tunnel vision). hat's ridiculous though because that's not the type of blindness he has.
