German Paralympian Markus Rehm's world record jump of 8.4 metres would've won him gold at the 2012 Olympic games in London but he's not being allowed to compete with able bodied athletes.

The German Federation have suggested to Rehm, that his prosthesis gives him a catapult effect in the take off, and therefore an unfair advantage

The 27-year-old told Ade Adedoyin he has not ruled out taking legal action in his bid to be able to compete at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro next year.
