I was shocked to see this as the first story on my Yahoo this morning...

Quote

Paralympic and Olympic star Oscar Pistorius has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend, who was shot dead at his home in South Africa.

Initial reports had claimed that Pistorius accidentally mistook his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp for a burglar, shooting her four times in the head and arm.

Police have 48 hours to question him and continue their investigations, with Pistorius's court appearance at Pretoria Magistrate's delayed until 07:00 UK time on Friday.

Has anybody checked this guy out for steroid abuse?

I know it's a case of mistaken identity and not murder/ suicide.

But he could have been on pins and needles because of the steroids.

It does have shades of Chris Benoit here albeit a bit more excusable.

I hear this 1st time this morning also. What a shock. She was a beautiful lady. Wonder if it was roid rage?

Now the police are saying that they never released a statement that she was mistaken for an intruder.  Who knows?  There has been previous domestic violence accusations.  He lives about 15km away from me.  This is such a shock for us!

Live only a couple km from where the incident took place myself. Rather depressing Valentine's, bothered me quite a bit today.

Suppose we'll have to wait and see what the truth is..so many stories going around. She really was a beautiful girl.

That is wrong on so many levels, but the truth be told, it made me laugh. I wonder how many members were thinking it but didn't have the balls to say it.

I think he is guilty likely and don't believe he mistook her for an intruder. It was said that there had been reports of domestic abuse. He's probably one of those men who doesn't treat women very nicely. I don't really think it's to do with steroids and even if he is taking them. it doesn't give him an escuse to kill a woman
but he is innocent til proven guilty so we'll have to see what happens

You mean he's south african.

I was also shocked by the news today. I wonder what could have tipped him over the edge?

If you believe all you hear on News Reports, TV etc then apparently the police were aware of many domestic disputes. In court today, he could not look his own father in the eye.
My only concern is that all the media attention seems to be centred on the loss or tainted reputation of this man.
What about the woman he has murdered?
If he is innocent of her murder, and it was an accident, the media should non- the less be on her, the loss her family and friends are experiencing, not the fact that the world is disappointed in the loss of a hero-worship of a man accused.

This guy was actually arguing at the Paralympics about the shape of an opponents blades.

The incident proved he had a short fuse even though he retracted the statement.

So that proves that he had more intent than is being reported in the media.
It's just a domestic dispute that got way out of hand but there's no way he can wiggle out of this.
If you want my honest opinion Lance Armstrong is a man of principles compared to this cretin.
The disability card dosn't give him instant immunity.

The exercise periods are going to be interesting at the prison...
How's he going to cope without his blades when they are classified as an offensive weapon.
He hasn't even got a leg to stand on least of all run...
