Like nearly all major international organisations, sporting or otherwise, the Paralympic Movement has a number of ongoing issues that it has to deal with and mediate.As is usually the nature of such issues they are both complex and difficult to manage in a way that keeps everyone happy.Other issues such as cheating, in various forms, is possibly a reflection of the increasing importance of the Games themselves and the vastly improved benefits that being successful at the Paralympic Games may now bring to both individuals and the nations and sporting organisations that they represent.The aim of this chapter is to outline some of these issues for the reader, although given the complexity of some of them and the limited space available here they can only be presented in their broadest form.Hopefully, however, the reader will be inspired to learn more about the complex nature of these issues and their impacts.
