'It's unfair.' A strange ban on tattoos could get Paralympians banned from the 2024 Paris edition of the event, as shown by one athlete who got disqualified in 2016 for showing his ink.
You're on the list! Expect to receive your first email very soon!The now-retired winner of two Olympic medals has a tattoo of the Olympic rings on his left chest, which under International Paralympic Committee rules is considered advertising, meaning all participants are under the obligation of covering them.
Now, with the 2024 edition of the Paralympics set to take place next Wednesday , participants could once again have all of their efforts nullified if they are unable to cover their ink properly. The athlete famously auctioned off nearly 23 cm of skin on his arm to T-Mobile for a hefty $21,800 before the 2016 Rio Olympics, causing problems with the official Team USA sponsors at the time, like AT&T.
