Nadine Dorries has hit out at the International Paralympic Committee’s decision to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete in the upcoming Winter Paralympics in Beijing despite the invasion of Ukraine.
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) confirmed its decision in a statement on Wednesday, just two days before the Games are set to get underway in China on Friday.
On Monday, the International Olympic Committee's executive board recommended that international sports federations should exclude Russian and Belarusian athletes, teams and officials from international competitions wherever possible.
