Oscar Pistorius Not Back to Official Training

South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius is "not back on any official training program," his uncle said Thursday, denying media reports that the Olympic and Paralympic athlete accused of murder in his girlfriend's February shooting death was preparing to race again.

"This may change in (the) future, but this will be a decision taken by Oscar, and Oscar alone," Arnold Pistorius said in a news release about his nephew, who is out on bail while he awaits trial. "At this point Oscar is still in an extremely traumatized state and has made it clear to all of us that he is not able or willing to even contemplate this issue at this stage."

Arnold Pistorius said Thursday that Oscar's family has "encouraged him to get back onto the track to help stabilize him emotionally."Oscar has been out running on a number of isolated occasions in the days following the relaxation of his bail conditions, but each time has been very difficult and he has struggled immensely with the decision to even leave the house," Arnold Pistorius said.
