Spain Ordered To Return Golds

April 22, 2014 by  

Spain Ordered To Return Golds, Spain’s Paralympic basketball team have been ordered to return their gold medals after nearly all of their players were found to have no disability.
The Spanish Paralympic Committee said the medals would be handed back after an inquiry found that 10 of the 12-strong squad suffered no handicap.

The scandal has already led to the resignation of Fernando Martin Vicente, vice-president of the committee and president of the Spanish Federation for Mentally Handicapped Sports.

Last month, Carlos Ribagorda, a member of the team, said he and nine colleagues were not subjected to any medical or psychological tests to check their eligibility.

Spain beat Russia 87-63 in the final of the intellectual disability tournament. There has been no confirmation of when the medals will be re-assigned.
