"Oakley and Nike have confirmed that they are suspending future advertising campaigns featuring Oscar Pistorius. The Paralympic champion sprinter has been charged with murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp - allegations which Pistorius disputes &amp;quot;in the strongest terms&amp;quot;.  Nike confirmed to The AP that it will no longer feature Pistorius in future advertising campaigns. However, company spokesperson KeJuan Wilkins did not comment on whether any current advertising would be removed. The text of a 2007 Nike banner advert which described Pistorius as the &amp;quot;bullet in the chamber&amp;quot; was removed from the athlete&amp;#039;s official website following his arrest on Thursday (February 14).  Meanwhile, Oakley has also confirmed that its sponsorship deal with Pistorius is now on hold. &amp;quot;In light of the recent allegations, Oakley is suspending its contract with Oscar Pistorius, effective immediately,&amp;quot; the eyewear manufacturer said in a statement.  &amp;quot;Our hearts are with the families during this difficult time and we&amp;#039;ll continue to follow the developments in this tragic case.&amp;quot; Pistorius is due to appear in court for a bail hearing later on Tuesday (February 19).
