IAAF allows Oscar to run at world championships | News Article
International athletics body the IAAF says Oscar Pistorius will be allowed to run at this year's world championships if he qualifies after the double-amputee runner was cleared by a court to leave South Africa to compete in track meets.

The Olympic athlete had appealed against some of his bail conditions, and a judge ruled yesterday that Pistorius can travel outside the country to run, but with certain conditions.

Pistorius is charged with the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day.
 
IAAF spokesperson Yannis Nikolau says there would be no objection from the world body to Pistorius competing at the world championships.
