A once famed Olympian is now ‘too toxic’ to work with after his incarceration for murder.

If you don’t know who Oscar Pistorius is or his crime, you’ve probably been living under a rock.

The double-amputee was thrown into the spotlight in 2013 after he killed his model girlfriend inside their home in 2013.

After claiming to have mistaken her in their bathroom for a thief, the athlete shot through the door multiple times using high-power ammunition.

Now, he is locked away at his uncle’s three-story mansion due to being ostracized by his former friends, since he was released from prison last January.

Pistorius even went on to reach out to two people at the International Paralympic Committee in the hopes that they could work together.

I mean, the gall.

However, his dreams of returning to a normal life after murdering Reeva Steenkamp were dashed in an instant.

One of the members he reached out to told The Post that the Olympian has ‘nothing for him here’.

They said: “He’s too toxic to work with now.

“There’s nothing for him here.”

The 37-year-old athlete had previously been the first double amputee to run in the Olympics in 2012, and would then go on to kill his partner just six months later.

During his 2014 trial, he claimed that he mistook her for a burglar, but this was quickly rebuffed by the media and public who believed that he intentionally murdered her.

According to the proceedings, he used ammunition designed to inflict the most damage to a body possible.

At first, he was sentenced by a high court to five years for culpable homicide, but was then sentence to 13 years and five months.

His safe haven appears to be his uncle Arnold Pistorius's home.

Situated in Pretoria, South Africa, the mansion features a swimming pool and tennis court, has armed guards, electronic defences and reportedly ‘attack dogs.’

But even though he is back to living the high life, he has stringent rules to abide by since his release.

Pistorius now has to attend check-ups with a parole officer, which will take place day and night.

The Department of Corrections also reported that he is subject to alcohol and drug testing, can’t have social media or contact with the media, write about his experiences or contact Reeva Steenkamp’s family.

June Steenkamp, Reeva’s mother opposed his release but told the ITV morning show that she accepted the parole board’s decision to let him free.

She said: “He had to come out, it’s inevitable.

“He’s on parole now. It’s not going to make any difference to my life.

“He’s done what he’s done already and I can’t do anything about that.

“I’ve lost the most beautiful, wonderful child. And now I’ve been without her for so many years, I miss her every day.”

If you’re wondering what a man can do with such a heavy criminal record?

According to his parole paperwork, he does volunteer work at NG Kerk Waterkloof, a Reformed Church doing light maintenance and janitorial work.
