Australian Paralympic team officials would not prevent athletes from covering the brand names of multinational companies that they believed had not helped enough to support athletes with disabilities, chef de mission Jason Hellwig said yesterday.
Fairfax reported on the weekend that some athletes would be taping over the logos of the multinational sporting companies on their running shoes and other racing apparel - which is often bought themselves in protest at the way they had been treated.
World record holder in the 100 metre sprint in his classification, Evan O'Hanlon, who has cerebral palsy, and his training partners Scott Reardon and Brad Scott are among those pushing the protest, although O'Hanlon has recently received competitive shoes from ASICS and will therefore be displaying their logo.
Hellwig and team members yesterday attended the raising of the flag ceremony in the athletes village for the Australian team. Hellwig said he was not concerned by the act as it was not directed towards team sponsors.

"If they want to express themselves in that way it doesn't contravene any of our commercial rules. They're not covering up any of our sponsors, the logos they're covering up are not a team sponsor, we don't have an apparel partner in the space."
