South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee who took part in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, is the latest Nike star making headlines for his off the field behavior. Pistorius is accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, on Feb. 14. Nike has featured Pistorius in a series of ad campaigns, the latest titled "I am the bullet in the chamber," which has been pulled from the company's website. The company has made no statements regarding its future relationship with Pistorius, only saying "Nike extends its deepest sympathy and condolences to all families concerned following this tragic incident."
