The official Rio2016 Twitter account posted a video of Pistorius winning the 400 Metre final at the 2012 games in London.
However since then, Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp and had his manslaughter conviction overturned and upgraded to murder.
The international Paralympic committee ruled in 2014 that Pistorius would be banned from the Rio games because of the original manslaughter conviction.
However, nobody from the Rio2016 organisation was available to confirm how the shamed athlete had made it into their high profile advertising campaign.
