A South African Paralympic shot-putter has hit out at South African Airways for refusing to allow him to board with his prosthetic leg.
Bronze medallist Tyrone Pillay says he was prevented from boarding an internal flight from Johannesburg to Durban as he made his way back from Brazil.
On Twitter, the athlete called the airline "disrespectful".
South African Airways says he should have been allowed on board with the prosthesis and is investigating.
"Our policy makes provision for passenger assistive devices to be carried into the cabin," said airline spokesperson Tlali Tlali.
"Mr Pillay's prosthetic legs fall under this classification and should have been allowed." (bbc.co.uk)
