Is anyone else offended by the disabled runner in the olympics?

If you do not know who I am talking about he has prosthetic legs from the knee down designed to give him the ability to run. I do not care that he has the prosthetics at all but I think he should be in the Paralympics. He has no legs below the knee or somewhere around there, hence he is disabled, hence he should be in the disabled Olympics. I know a lot of people will just say its being fair, but its not, and I do not care if the prosthetics are proven to be equal to others because I cannot see how they measure it anyways. In my opinion this is another bitch and moan scenario where we were forced to give in for equal rights. But its not equal, its giving an advantage over everyone else who is disabled because they are not allowed in the olympics, or they would not pass the trials, either way this guy is being treated better than anyone and quite frankly I have had enough of it. If he is allowed technologically advanced legs, why strap rockets to our runners. Anyone else feel this way?
 
If wht you say is correct then it is political correctness gone mad. Did you know if you build a new house in the UK, even if it is for you, it has to be fitted with wide doors and ramps and handles in the bog so the disabled people who wont be visiting will stop mithering?
