19 DAYS TO GO!

X-C skiier BRIAN MCKEEVER has raised questions about the Olympics and Paralympics.

MCKEEVER has qualified for both the OWG and the Winter Paralympic Gaesm, this year being held shortly after the Vancouver games.

MCKEEVER is legally blind. He has a disease that is similar to macular degeneration, in which the macula of the eye does not function, and the person has only peripheral vision.

Is there any reason that he shouldn't compete in both Games?
Are the "definitions" of disabilities for athletes in the Paralympic Games sufficient/accurate?
