Paralympic sports: MPs set for 'explosive' evidence, says Michael Breen

A Parliamentary committee looking at cheating claims in Paralympic sports is set to hear "explosive" evidence on Tuesday, according to one witness. MPs will discuss the classification process after a BBC investigation uncovered claims of tactics being used to cheat the system internationally. Michael Breen, father of Paralympian Olivia, will be among the witnesses. "I firmly believe that the evidence will be extremely powerful, one might even use the word explosive," he said. The BBC investigation claimed tactics such as taping up of arms, taking cold showers in trunks and even surgery to shorten limbs had been used to get into a more favourable class.
