JORDAN'S Paralympic committee said yesterday it has withdrawn three members from a pre-Games training camp in Northern Ireland over charges of sex offences.
"The three athletes charged with a variety of offences in Northern Ireland will not be competing at the London 2012 Paralympic Games and will return home to Amman on Thursday," the committee said in a statement.
Two wheelchair-using power-lifters and their trainer appeared at Coleraine Magistrates' Court on Wednesday facing charges including sexual assault and voyeurism.
The committee said "it would be inappropriate for the accused athletes to compete at Games."
"We have a zero tolerance on any misconduct and will continue to work closely with the Northern Ireland authorities to assist in their investigation," it added. The three, released Wednesday on combined bail and sureties of 5,500 pounds (US$8,700) each, "will be returned to court in Northern Ireland on October 18," according to the statement.
