Rocket belt, rocket pack, jet pack, and similar names, are various types of device, usually worn on the back, that use jets of escaping gases to allow the user to fly.

"It would be a lot more productive to do the testing with me rather than against me," he said. "For a federation that size making allegations and derogatory comments about Paralympics, then the least they can do is give me the opportunity to fight my fight and work with me instead of against me. It's pretty unprofessional the comments that they have made."

Pistorius, who ran in the outside lane, went faster in the second half of the race than the first 200 meters at the Don Valley Stadium.

To qualify for next year's Beijing Olympics, the South African would have to run a 46.3 before July 2008 -- and get IAAF approval. Although the loss was expected, the disqualification doesn't help his chances to convince a skeptical IAAF that he should run at the Olympics.

Asked whether Pistorius, would be banned from competing against able-bodied athletes wearing his blades, IAAF communications director Nick Davies Davies felt it was still too early to say.

"We are open-minded. We would like to get Oscar into a laboratory where we can do more detailed testing and we hope he will actually stop the sort of confrontational attitude he has with us and realize we are also doing our job," Davies said.

"The whole world does not centre round Oscar Pistorious. We have all our other work to do but we want to be fair to him and give him a chance."

In March the IAAF introduced a rule outlawing technical aids, although it allowed Pistorius to continue running while further investigations are carried out.
