South African Paralympian Oscar Pistorius may return to training next week after he was released on bail on Friday following his eight days stay in police custody. Pistorius awaits trial for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. 
The South African athlete is currently staying at his uncle's house in the upmarket suburb of Waterkloof in Pretoria.

Although the 26-year-old will not be able to participate in any upcoming competition, his long-term mentor, Ampie Louw, said he was ready to resume training to get Pistorius’ ‘mind, sort of, clear’  Louw said-‘The sooner he can start with a bit of work, the better,’.  ‘We can start training Monday' he also added.
