Danny Salazar Indians Jersey .The decision of the South African Olympic body matches that of the International Paralympic Committee, which said Pistorius cannot run in its events for five years while serving his sentence for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp — even if he is released early to go under house arrest.Agent Peet van Zyl told The Associated Press that lawyers will meet with Pistorius in prison on Friday. After that it will become clearer when Van Zyl and Pistorius longtime track coach, Ampie Louw, can talk to him about his running future, he said.We would like to see the young man, Van Zyl said.Van Zyl said no discussions have been held over the Olympian and multiple Paralympic champions track career because Pistorius was taken straight to prison following his sentencing on Tuesday.Pistorius, once a globally-admired sportsman, was convicted of culpable homicide, or negligent killing, for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet door in his home last year. He was acquitted of murder. Pistorius five-year sentence allows for him to be released from prison after completing one-sixth of his term — 10 months — to serve the remainder under correctional supervision, which involves house arrest.South African Olympic committee chief executive Tubby Reddy told The Associated Press that the 27-year-old Pistorius could not compete for the full duration of that sentence under the bodys rules. The IPC said the same this week, apparently ruling Pistorius out of the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.The International Olympic Committee and the IAAF, which controls able-bodied athletics events, have declined to comment on Pistorius case.South Africas sports minister said in a newspaper interview that he believed Pistorius track career was over.The courts have spoken, Fikile Mbalula told the Cape Argus newspaper. I hear people saying that Pistorius will come back. To me that (the sentencing) was the end of the road.Yet Pistorius has successfully challenged sports authorities decisions before.In 2008, he overturned an IAAF ruling that he wasnt allowed to compete against able-bodied runners on his carbon-fiber blades, and he made history by running at the 2012 London Olympics.If people want to write him off, thats up to them, agent Van Zyl said. They can say what they want.The regulations of correctional supervision in South Africa normally allow an offender to return to his job if he is transferred to house arrest.Reddy, the chief executive of the Olympic committee, conceded the legalities of Pistorius position might have to be investigated if the department of corrections allowed him to return to work while under house arrest.___Gerald Imray is on Twitter at www.twitter.com/GeraldImrayAP

Blue-shirt biddingsTSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger tweeted Friday that Western Conference teams are suggesting the New York Rangers are collecting information on St. Louis Blues forward Chris Stewart. With rumours swirling around pending unrestricted free agent Ryan Callahan, Dreger tweeted "Callahan for Stewart would be a sweet deal for Blues.

Parenteau has found himself front and centre of trade rumours with the Montreal Canadiens. Talking to Mike Chambers of the Denver Post on Sunday, Parenteau addressed his current situation with the Avalanche and the potential for a move to Montreal. "Any time a top-six guy on a team is out of the lineup (rumours) are going to go around. Its parrt of the game, but its not fun with family and stuff like that.

Steve Bartlett, who spoke to Newsdays Arthur Staple on Wednesday, said the Austrian winger is not quite ready to seal his fate, but that "we continue to have what I consider very good and constructive conversations with the Islanders." The Islanders acquired Vanek last October from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Matt Moulson, a conditional first-round pick in 2014 -- New York could defer the pick to next year if it is a top-10 selection -- and a second-round pick in 2015. "We certainly understand the team will want to explore [a trade] and try to recoup some of the assets they gave up," Bartlett said. "We are getting close to that line in the sand time and we understand the risks and rewards of the situation were in. (GM) Garth (Snow) and the Islanders have been nothing but great in this whole process."
