A quadriplegic rugby player with no feet and only two fingers has been told he is not disabled enough to represent Britain in the Paralympics.
Mark Fosbrook, 28, from Cheltenham, has been training to compete with the British wheelchair rugby team in Athens.
The teacher said he was "devastated" when the ruling body for the sport told him he was too able-bodied to play in the Paralympics, which start on September 17.
How ridiculous! How disabled does one have to be?! I would say that having no feet is debilitating enough....
