Attempts to cheat the Paralympics have sparked outrage. One of those who raised the issue is a Ukrainian Yuri Marchenkowhich has been investigating allegations of cheating related to Ukrainian para sports.
“Are [Ukrainassa] at war. Many people have been injured. They are without legs, without hands, without eyes. I really want disabled people to be able to compete in the Paralympics. Healthy people’s attempt to be accepted [paralympialaisiin] is not acceptable,” Marchenko said For Sportchau.
Marchenko claimed that he was hit by a car by a teammate who should be severely visually impaired. He also claimed to have found out that a Ukrainian judoka has a normal driver’s license, even though the athlete in question is classified as blind or visually impaired.
Of the seven cheaters suspected by Marchenko, four are scheduled to fight for medals in Paris on September 5.
For the visually impaired according to ARD, the international sports federation has not commented on the fresh doubts.
