Officials are considering banning the Russian national team from this summer’s Paralympics after the World Anti-Doping Agency has exposed evidence of a state-run doping scheme that has also put the country's status for the Olympics in jeopardy, according to the New York Times.
At least 35 positive doping tests by Russian Paralympians had been covered up by the Russian sports ministry since 2011, according to the Times.

I think there was a South Park episode about a kid in a wheelchair doing steroids and going crazy. I guess sometimes life imitates art
Here comes the full press anti-Russia broadside.
Yeah; it also included Cartman pretending to be mentally disabled so he could get in and he planned on outdoing the rest of the athletes and winning the cash prize.
Excellent episode.
Russia is behind the times. They don’t need to dope. They just need to put a bunch of men in women’s games and scream discrimination against transgenders when the committee tries to ban them.
Oooh. Good point. And do you really need to be handicapped to identify as a handicapped person? A healthy male identifying as a transgender handicapped person cold clean up.
He kept saying “Dah” lol
What a narcissistic kid :)
And they kicked his ### :)
It was for athletic events. Bad memory at 48 :(
