A photo of the gold-medal-winning team appears in a newspaper back in Spain. Some of the players are recognised by people who know them - and they're not disabled.
A basketball journalist in Spain recognises three of the players in the gold-medal-winning intellectual disability basketball team - and they are not disabled. He has even played on the same team as one of them. But when he publishes his story in a national basketball magazine, the team鈥檚 organisers show certificates supposedly proving the players鈥� disability status.
The denials continue until another of the players - who turns out to have been a journalist - publishes his own article exposing the fraud. It causes a media storm in Spain and around the world. The Spanish Paralympic Committee begins an investigation and the consequences for the genuinely-disabled captain Ray are devastating.
