Five-time Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft has called the classification system used to assess athlete’s disability level "humiliating".

The wheelchair-racer was responding the International Paralympic committee's recent announcement that new classification rules will be enforced from 2018 which will include athletes in her T34 category being re-tested.

The 25-year-old who also has 10 world titles said: "I’ve been put through horrible tests to prove that I am what I claim to be when I sit on that start line." "I think my worst one was I had to have electrodes attached to my spine and then electric shocks sent up and down my legs to see which nerves worked and that pain was sickening."

Cockroft was joined on the Friday Sports Panel by Adam Gemili, Helen Richardson-Walsh and Greg Rutherford who said he "couldn't even imagine" having to go through that experience.
