In the Paralympics, as in all elite sports, some athletes cheat.
To ensure competitive fairness, para-sports use a classification system to group athletes according to their level of impairment.
A former Paralympian says para-sport is dogged by a culture in which some athletes exaggerate their disabilities to manipulate this system - and her efforts to raise the alarm have tarnished her career.
Dateline investigates how athlete's disabilities are assessed and whether the quest for gold can drive some competitors to bend and even break the rules.
This episode first aired in 2021.
