Oscar Pistorius agent is seeking a prison meeting with the double-amputee athlete in the next few days to discuss his career, with South Africas Olympic committee saying Thursday the runner cant compete for the full five years of his jail sentence. Nick Bellore Jersey .The decision of the South African Olympic body matches that of the International Paralympic Committee, which said Pistorius cannot run in its events for five years while serving his sentence for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp — even if he is released early to go under house arrest.Agent Peet van Zyl told The Associated Press that lawyers will meet with Pistorius in prison on Friday. After that it will become clearer when Van Zyl and Pistorius longtime track coach, Ampie Louw, can talk to him about his running future, he said.We would like to see the young man, Van Zyl said.Van Zyl said no discussions have been held over the Olympian and multiple Paralympic champions track career because Pistorius was taken straight to prison following his sentencing on Tuesday.Pistorius, once a globally-admired sportsman, was convicted of culpable homicide, or negligent killing, for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet door in his home last year. He was acquitted of murder. Pistorius five-year sentence allows for him to be released from prison after completing one-sixth of his term — 10 months — to serve the remainder under correctional supervision, which involves house arrest.South African Olympic committee chief executive Tubby Reddy told The Associated Press that the 27-year-old Pistorius could not compete for the full duration of that sentence under the bodys rules. The IPC said the same this week, apparently ruling Pistorius out of the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.The International Olympic Committee and the IAAF, which controls able-bodied athletics events, have declined to comment on Pistorius case.South Africas sports minister said in a newspaper interview that he believed Pistorius track career was over.The courts have spoken, Fikile Mbalula told the Cape Argus newspaper. I hear people saying that Pistorius will come back. To me that (the sentencing) was the end of the road.Yet Pistorius has successfully challenged sports authorities decisions before.In 2008, he overturned an IAAF ruling that he wasnt allowed to compete against able-bodied runners on his carbon-fiber blades, and he made history by running at the 2012 London Olympics.If people want to write him off, thats up to them, agent Van Zyl said. They can say what they want.The regulations of correctional supervision in South Africa normally allow an offender to return to his job if he is transferred to house arrest.Reddy, the chief executive of the Olympic committee, conceded the legalities of Pistorius position might have to be investigated if the department of corrections allowed him to return to work while under house arrest.___Gerald Imray is on Twitter at www.twitter.com/GeraldImrayAP Jarrad Davis Jersey .

Burris threw for 247 yards in one half of a game -- on pace for a nearly 500-yard outing -- as the Redblacks downed the woeful Montreal Alouettes 26-10 in CFL pre-season play Friday night at Percival Molson Stadium.SHANGHAI - Rafael Nadal is counting on antibiotics to control his appendicitis so he can get through the Shanghai Masters this week.The second-ranked Nadal began feeling pain in his abdomen late Saturday, and the next day went to the hospital where he learned he had the early stages of appendicitis.Nadal said on Tuesday he chose to try treatment with antibiotics rather than undergo surgery right away. He felt well enough to begin hitting again, he said.The 14-time major winner said the risk of his condition getting worse after three days of steady improvement is always very, very low.I am not going to go for surgery. Thats great news for me today. Thats why Im here practicing for 45 minutes, and trying to play tomorrow. But obviously I am not in my best condition, he said.Nadal said he will talk with his doctors when he returns to Spain after the tournament about whether he will need to have the appendix removed.My idea is take it out, but you can imagine that I didnt (think) much about that yet. I am here in Shanghai. I just want to try. Then when I go back home, I will talk about the situation with my doctor, he said.The Spaniard is playing just his second tournament since returning from a two-month layoff due to a wrist injury. After missing the summer hard-court season, including the defence of his title at the U.S. Open, Nadal said it was important to get back on the court as soon as possible so hes back in top form before the Australian Open in January. He reached the China Open quarterfinals last week.I dont expect anything from these two tournaments. I expect just to come here and play again and practice and feel a little bit again the competition, try to get in rhythm as soon as possible, he said.Nadal plays his opening match on Wednesday against countryman Feliciano Lopez.In first-round play, Vancouvers Vaesk Pospisil advanced with a 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-1 win over Colombias Santiago Giraldo. Pospisil had 18 aces in the match and broke Giraldoo six times. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Tavon-Wilson-Draft-Jersey/. Pospisil plays Spains Roberto Bautista Agut in the second round.Meanwhile, Fabio Fognini of Italy lost to a Chinese wild card making his ATP Tour debut, then bumped into him at the net and gave an obscene gesture to the crowd.The No. 17-ranked Fognini, a 10-year professional, was upset by the 553rd-ranked Wang Chuhan 7-6 (5), 6-4.After the two shook hands, Fognini gave Wang a little shove with his arm as they crossed paths, then flashed his middle finger to the crowd upon exiting the stadium.The fiery Italian, who was fined $27,500 at Wimbledon for outbursts during a first-round match, has lost five of six matches since reaching the Cincinnati quarterfinals in August.Wang said he knew Fogninis game somewhat after practicing with him in Beijing last week, but didnt have a lot of confidence heading into the match.When I was practicing with him before, I found hes more fast-paced than me, he said. This match has really, most importantly, helped me get closer to this kind of feeling of competing with top-100 players. Hopefully, next time when I meet a top-100 player, I wont feel so nervous or feel that its impossible to win.He next plays Tunisian qualifier Malek Jaziri, ranked 87th, for a spot in the third round.Two-time major winner Andy Murray was broken twice in the second set but recovered to defeat Russian qualifier Teymuraz Gabashvili 6-1, 7-5.Murray is playing for the third straight week in hopes of qualifying for next months ATP finals in London. After winning a title in Shenzhen two weeks ago and reaching the semifinals of the China Open, he now sits in ninth place in the standings, just outside the eight-man field.In these three weeks, mentally, it can be challenging to concentrate match after match after match, Murray said. Each day when you get up, you have to be on it, you have to be ready and prepared.Other winners included Mikhail Youzhny of Russia, Gilles Simon of France and Ivan Dodig of Croatia.
