Oscar Pistorius Trial Update: Sentencing in October as Runner Says Pistorius Should be Banned From Olympics for Life

Oscar Pistorius should be banned from running track for life because of the culpable homicide conviction in the Reeva Steenkamp murder trial.

That’s according to United States Olympic legend Sanya Richards-Ross, who won four gold medals from 2004 to 2012.

Richards-Ross says that she used to be tight with Pistorius, but that his actions should have consequences.

“At the end of the day, there was a woman that ended up dead. I don’t think he should have the privilege of competing in the sport anymore,” she told TMZ.

The International Paralympics Committee is going to make a decision about whether Pistorius can compete after his sentencing takes place next month.

Pistorius faces up to 15 years in jail but the culpable homicide conviction carries no minimum sentence.

Escorted by police and security, Oscar Pistorius leaves the court in Pretoria, South Africa, Friday, Sept. 12, 2014. In passing judgement judge Thokozile Masipa ruled out a murder conviction for the double-amputee Olympian in the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, but said he was negligent and convicted him of culpable homicide.
