Boosting : Paralympics Cheating Method Of Choice

Boosting is apparently a popular cheating method of Paralympic Athletes with spinal cord injuries. I am just linking the article cause I am in a hurry. It involves self inflicted pain in order to raise blood pressure which apparently gives them a competitive edge.

You act like it isn't already happening. On a side note 3 members of the Jordanian para-olympic team were arrested for sexual assault. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-19355630

I don't think I could smash my own toes with a hammer, but they probably don't feel the pain since they have spinal cord injuries, It's probably a case of their body reacting to the trauma.

People will do crazy things just to get ahead sometimes. Look at Tonya Harding, she attacked another skater and put out a sex tape. It's debatable which was more traumatic to the public.
