The International Paralympic Committee, the IPC, they have a registry of athletes. You have to be on it to even compete internationally,

The list is publicly available, and contains over 4,000 athletes from around the world. Cawthorn isnt on it.
Brian Siemann, however, is on the list. He represented Team USA in track and field in the 2012 and 2016 Paralympic Games.

Siemann admitted, a little sheepishly, that he and other elite athletes were aware of Cawthorn long before he ran for office. In fact, Cawthorns Instagram feed was a bit of a running joke. [My teammates and I] would share whatever posts [Cawthorn] put up and be like, Look at what batshit thing he said about the Paralympics this week.
The claims he was making were just so absurd, you have to find some humor in it.
