"IPC is a membership-based organisation, and we appreciate the perspectives of our member organisations as well," said Andrew Parsons, President of the international Paralympic Committee (IPC), in a statement. As part of the Paralympic Movement, our members elected the Board in december 2021.
In his statement, IPC President Andrew Parsons also stated that "during the past 12 hours, a considerable number of members have contacted us to offer their thoughts, for which I am thankful." They have informed us that if we do not reconsider our decision, significant repercussions would follow.
According to the IPC, players from various member nations have threatened to boycott competition against russia or Belarus. This may have made things tough during the Paralympics.
