In your @rotherhamtiser this week … George Bates’ battle to take part in the 2021 Paralympics, @rotherhamrugby unveil first three signings, @leeappleyard2 on title fight countdown, grant boost for @RUWFC_Official; @Rdslfootball, Millers and more. Out tonight. @SarahChampionMP

George Bates facing retirement, at 26, after being told he no longer meets impairment criteria + there'll be no Tokyo transition to cover wheelchair basketball (unlike tennis). Governing bodies point fingers. And a superb athlete's dreams are being ruined: telegraph.co.uk/paralympic-spo…

@Paralympics why are you excluding a transitional period for wheelchair basketball athletes but allowing other sports a transitional period for their athletes? Your points scoring against @_IWBF would be laughable if it wasn’t so destructive.

@_IWBF is it ok for your athletes to be collateral damage - where is their justice, where is your conscience? Why are you not challenging @Paralympics?

@OliverDowden what are you going to do to support these athletes in what appears to be a power struggle between @Paralympics and @_IWBF with no regard to the athletes - their careers and their mental health ? Is it ok for them to be collateral damage?

⁦@Paralympics⁩ ⁦@_IWBF⁩ ????? It’s people’s lives you’re destroying instagram.com/p/CNhl24wJT_G/…

There is something very satisfying about being able to capture the start of a career and share that with others. @leicsccc today I was privileged to witness 2 young men starting their journey. Here is the first @SAMUELDBATES8 #RunningFoxes #Anewbreed #Academyofexcellence

@Lborocollege @OffsiteSport @Lboro6thForm We're delighted World & European Champion @Georgebates94 has joined our BRIT Ambassador family & is championing #TheBRITChallenge thebritchallenge.org.uk/post/great-bri… George would be thrilled to support students & staff @Lborocollege if they take part

@Ginofantastico just cooked your Linguine Alle Vongole from Gino’s Italian Escapes - fantastico!!! 🇮🇹 ❤️

🏀Why not catch up on the sports stories that you may have missed? Including @JWTelegraph's incredible exclusive with wheelchair basketballer @georgebates who considered amputating his leg off to be selected for the Paralympics. Free to read telegraph.co.uk/paralympic-spo…

@dogsatcricket Colin concentrating on the semi final @NewtownLCC v Barrow Town CC

@Paralympics @_IWBF @parsonsandrew your ignorance in drawing a comparison between athletes with a MEDICALLY PROVEN physical disability and the issues in 2000 is astounding. Whatever corporate battle is going on, forget your egos, show some character - no athlete should be collateral damage.

@Paralympics @_IWBF This is an absolute disgrace - there is no comparison to the previous scandal - you are at best insulting
