Ukrainian government officials have declared they will stay away from next month's Milano Cortina Winter Paralympics following the International Paralympic Committee's ruling that permits Russian and Belarusian competitors to participate under their national flags.The IPC announced on Tuesday that a total of 10 athletes from the two nations would take part in the Games, scheduled to run from 6 to 15 March.This marks the first occasion since 2014 that Russian competitors will be able to represent their country at the Paralympics, having previously been required to compete under a neutral banner.Sports Minister Matviy Bidnyi announced the boycott on Wednesday, making clear that while Ukrainian athletes would continue to compete, no government representatives would attend any aspect of the Games."In response to the outrageous decision to let Russians and Belarusians compete under their national flags, Ukrainian public officials will not attend the Paralympic Games," Mr Bidnyi stated."We will not be present at the opening ceremony. We will not take part in any other official Paralympic events."The minister also appealed to other nations to follow suit, thanking "every official from the free world who will do the same."Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga echoed this call, urging allied countries to shun the opening ceremony.Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has strongly criticised the IPC's ruling, describing it as "completely the wrong decision."Writing on social media on Tuesday, Ms Nandy argued that permitting competitors from Russia and Belarus to represent their countries whilst the conflict in Ukraine persists "sends a terrible message."She called upon the Paralympic governing body to reverse its position without delay."The International Paralympic Committee should reconsider this decision urgently," the Culture Secretary wrote.Britain joined 32 other nations, predominantly from Europe, in signing a joint statement voicing "serious concern" when IPC members voted to end the partial suspensions of Russia and Belarus back in September.The IPC's decision follows two previous bans imposed on Russia initially in 2016 due to a state-sponsored doping programme, and subsequently in 2022 following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.IPC president Andrew Parsons defended the organisation's stance last year, telling Sky News that Russian involvement in the Games was "not linked to participation in wars."Mr Parsons acknowledged that both Russia and Belarus had previously exploited Paralympic sport to promote what they termed the "special operation," which prompted the 2023 suspension.However, he maintained there was now "less evidence" of the Games being used for war propaganda.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

A scheduled spring fraud trial for two Cleveland Guardians pitchers accused of colluding with sports bettors to rig bets and betray America's pastime will likely be postponed until October, a federal judge said Wednesday as the men pleaded not guilty to a rewritten indictment.Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto left a May 4 trial date on the books for now, but indicated she'll probably move it to the fall in the coming weeks.Pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, speaking Spanish, entered not guilty pleas through a translator to a rewritten indictment in Brooklyn federal court.No new charges were in the superseding indictment unsealed on Friday, as prosecutors charged a third individual with serving as a middleman between bettors and Clase. That person also pleaded not guilty Wednesday.The pitchers were first charged in November with accepting several thousand dollars in payoffs to help two gamblers from their native Dominican Republic win at least $460,000 by placing more than 100 in-game prop bets and parlays on the speed and the outcome of certain pitches. Charges include wire fraud conspiracy and conspiracy to influence sporting contests.The rewritten indictment released Friday added allegations that Clase used code words like rooster and chicken in communications about pitches to be thrown.Prior to a May 18, 2025, game against the Cincinnati Reds, Clase received a message to throw a rock at the first rooster in today's fight and responded with: Yes, of course, that's an easy toss to that rooster, the indictment said. However, Clase never entered the game and could not fulfill the plan to throw outside the strike zone to the first batter he faced, it added.A day earlier, though, Clase broke Major League Baseball rules by using his cellphone in the middle of a game against the Reds to signal to gamblers that a pitch would be outside the strike zone, enabling them to win about $27,000, the indictment said.Clase, the Guardians former closer, and Ortiz, a starter, have been on non-disciplinary paid leave since July. Their teammates are just starting training camp for the new season. The teams home opener is April 3.Clase and Ortiz, who are free on bail, left the courthouse separately after Wednesday's hearing. Neither commented. Lawyers for both men have insisted their clients never colluded with gamblers.Lawyers for Ortiz have asked that he be tried separately, saying in court papers that if Clase passed along Ortiz's pitching strategy to gamblers, he did so without Ortiz's knowledge. They also noted that Ortiz is accused of throwing only two pitches that drew scrutiny over a 12-day span, while Clase is charged with colluding with gamblers on numerous pitches since 2023.Mr. Clase may have abused his relationship with Mr. Ortiz as friends and teammates by convincing Mr. Ortiz to throw certain pitches at certain times ostensibly for baseball reasons as far as Mr. Ortiz was aware, the lawyers wrote. They said they might present a defense to the jury that would cast Ortiz as a victim of Mr. Clases scheme, rather than a knowing and willing participant.Clase, a three-time All-Star, had a $4.5 million salary in 2025, the fourth season of a $20 million, five-year contract. Prosecutors say he started providing bettors with information about his pitches in 2023 but didn't seek payoffs until last year.Prosecutors have said that Ortiz, who had a $782,600 salary last season, joined the scheme last June.The Guardians and Major League Baseball have said they are cooperating with the investigation. MLB said it contacted federal law enforcement when it began investigating unusual betting activity.
