Basketball ID
Spain's intellectual disability basketball team won the tournament and gold medals, but these medals were soon stripped from the team. Shortly after the Games closed, Carlos Ribagorda, a member of the victorious team and an undercover journalist, revealed to the Spanish business magazine Capital that ten of the twelve members of the team were "ringers", that is, basketball players who were not disabled recruited to make the team stronger. None of these members underwent tests to verify they were actually disabled, nor would they have qualified had the tests been performed.
Goalball
The Spanish men's goalball team consisted of Roberto Abenia, Ricardo Fernandez, Vicente Galiana, Raul Garcia, Hipolito Gonzalez and Manuel Panadero.
The Spanish women's goalball team consisted of Maria Angeles Calderon, Concepcion Dueso, Concepcion Hernandez, Sara Luna, Jessica Malagon and Begona Redal. They finished second in the final, winning the silver medal.
