JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Oscar Pistorius informed South African authorities Monday that he wants to resume athletic training while on bail for the murder case against him, a government official said. A spokeswoman for the Olympic runner, however, denied he was making immediate plans to return to the track while awaiting trial for the Feb. 14 shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. "Absolutely not," said spokeswoman Janine Hills. "He is currently in mourning and his focus is not on his sports." The double-amputee Paralympian discussed bail terms with his probation officer and a correctional official at the Pretoria Magistrates Court in the capital, according to correctional officials. The guidelines will determine his daily routine until his next court appearance June 4. "Its his wish to continue to practise," James Smalberger, chief deputy commissioner of the department of correctional services, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. Smalberger said the issue came up because authorities need to know his movements whenever he leaves the home where he is staying. The timing of any resumption of training was uncertain. Pistorius longtime coach, Ampie Louw, declined to comment on any training plans for the runner, referring questions to a spokeswoman for the athletes family. Louw had said when the runner was in detention that he wanted to put him back into training in the event that he was granted bail. But he had also said Pistorius could be "heartbroken" and unwilling to immediately run again. Pistorius, who was released on bail Friday, is staying at the house of his uncle, Arnold, in the affluent suburb of Waterkloof in Pretoria. He faces life imprisonment if convicted. Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder in the killing of Steenkamp, in the early hours of Valentines Day. Prosecutors say the pair had an argument before Steenkamp was killed; Pistorius says he mistook her for an intruder and shot her accidentally. Smalberger said officials will visit Pistorius at his uncles home at least four times a month, and the runner indicated his interest in training again. More planning must occur before the start of any training. "We want a training program from his coach so that we have backup for his movements," Smalberger said. "Hes not under house arrest, but his movements need to be known to us so that we dont pitch there and hes not there," he said. "We agree on free time normally during the course of the day, and in the evening we expect him to be home." Pistorius 2013 season had been geared towards the Aug. 10-18 world championships in Moscow, where the South African 4x400 relay team will be trying for another medal to add to the silver it won at the 2011 edition. Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair had set bail at 1 million rand (C$110,049). The 26-year-old track star was also ordered to hand over his passports, turn in any guns he owns and keep away from his upscale home in a gated community in Pretoria, the scene of the crime. He cannot leave the district of Pretoria without his probation officers permission and is not allowed to consume drugs or alcohol, the magistrate said. cheap jerseys from china .J.

Briefly out of the league, he is indeed back again -- this time with his fourth team, hoping to bring stability to the reeling Browns."Now Im the other man. No ones rooting for me." - Chris Murphy Under any circumstances, it would have been difficult to justify trading Wayne Gretzky in hockey terms. On Wednesday, SportsCentre looked at the man tasked with being the centrepiece of Edmontons return for trading its greatest asset. "The Kid In The Shadow: The Story of Jimmy Carson" aired on SportsCentre as part of the continuing look at the 25th anniversary of the trade that sent Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings. "Youre renegotiating a contract. You just bought a house," remembered Carson of that fateful day. "You outfitted it and, oh, by the way, you were just involved in the biggest trade in the history of sports. Now what?" Carson came to Edmonton with great pedigree as one of the five pieces the Oilers obtained in the trade. Arriving hot on the heels of a 55-goal season, Carson - just 20 years old - was supposed to be a building block to keep the on-ice juggernaut that had already won four Stanley Cups rolling. In fact, he still holds the NHL record to this day for most career goals scored before the age of 20 with a total of 92. "He was a phenom," said then Kings owner Bruce McNall. "He had the respect of everybody because he could score." Carson, however, would not last long in Edmonton. "I think his personality was much different than Waynes, so I dont think he was [as] accepted as a person,"; said Oilers stalwart Kevin Lowe.dddddddddddd His numbers were excellent - posting 49 goals for the Oilers in 1988-89 - but the young American was unable to withstand the pressure of replacing Gretzky. He would be dealt by the Oilers just four games into the 1989-90 season for a package that included soon-to-be Stanley Cup Final hero Petr Klima. "He called me up and said that he was going home," recalled then Oilers coach John Muckler of the morning Carson requested a trade. "He said I just cant walk back into that dressing room again." TSN Drive host Dave Naylor looked at Carsons struggles, triumphs, and how he learned to chart his own course while being part of someone elses history.
