After Parsons had said that he did not see legal ways to solve the situation despite of the "disagree of some Italian officials" (not direct quote but the meaining) boycott of the Opening ceremony is growing...

 

 

Ukraine, Czech Repuplic, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Netherlands...

This could be the last ever Paralympics. Come 2028 it might well not be held because the IPC has split in two. That’s one legacy for Andrew Parsons. 
 

He could simply ignore CAS or even withdraw the IPC from them. Unless he is worried about falling from his hotel room window or is being blackmailed.

Canada will also not partake in the opening ceremony, but the decision was made because of the location of the venue.

Did the IPC not offer what the IOC did?
