In a statement issued on Tuesday, Oakley said: In light of the recent allegations, Oakley is suspending its contract with Oscar Pistorius, effective immediately. Our hearts are with the families during this difficult time and we'll continue to follow the developments in this tragic case.

Nike also removed their "Bullet in a chamber" ad from Pistorius' website.
