(Stephane de Sakutin/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The downward spiral for Oscar Pistorius continues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Approximately six months after becoming the first amputee to compete in a track event at the Olympics, Pistorius is now facing a murder charge for allegedly fatally shooting his girlfriend on Valentine's Day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the wake of the charges, The Guardian is reporting that Pistorius has now been dropped by a number of sponsors including Oakley, and Nike said the brand has \"no further plans\" to feature Pistorius in any of its campaigns. Nike had previously used Pistorius in a number of ad campaigns, including one in which he was featured with the catchline, \"I am the bullet in the chamber.\" The endorsements were believed to have brought in $2 million for the former Olympic star.\nAccording to the report, his agent, Peet van Zyl, told the media on Sunday that sponsors remain committed to Pistorius despite the charges.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
