My heart goes out to the 2 members on the team that were actually disabled and had no clue what was happening. They truly tried their best and deserved their medals.
It's truly saddening
I had to take a shower after watching this video. Seriously. WTF.
Yeah, they probably never even knew if their fellow teammates were even disabled
@@Broskisunited ... I feel like making a joke but that would be in bad taste
They didn’t deserve their medals. It took the team to win. Who knows if they would’ve won with a different team?
I love the episode of South Park where Cartman faked being mentally handicapped so he could compete in a athletic competition only open to people with disabilities.
And he got absolutely destroyed by all the other kids who had genuine disabilities.
He still won the heart award.
Being morbidly obese is a disability to be fair lol
Watch The Ringer (2005) Has Johnny Knoxville in it. Description: A comedy about a man who poses as mentally disabled in order to fraudulently enter the Special Olympics.
And Jimmy was on roids.. having Cartman come in dead last was genius.. great episode
That moment was beautiful.
Hi, im Spanish.
Just wanted to say that, like less than a year ago, the did interview one of the real disable players, the other one didn’t wanted to be interviewed. Obviously is a heart braking interview, you can se how much that meant for him and was taken away because some greedy people. To this day they are still hurt.
That is sad, but honestly they probably wouldn't have won otherwise
@@RosettaStoned87
They didn't win, though
the fact that they left the two guys alone in the hotel just makes me sad. i can take a wild guess and say they probably weren’t even invited :(
Off course they weren't, they were going at night clubs to pick up women, nobody would want to play babysitter for two regards.
@@cholamais-cj1wh you can't even spell the slur you're teying to say

As an autistic person I was shocked at how cruel they treated the actually disabled team members. Leaving them alone like that. And pretending to be disabled is disgusting
That was the most unforgivable part.
Sadly I seen alot of neglect of fellow disabled persons
Yeah that broke my heart I’d like to give these fools a smackin
@@Cyge240sx Please fucking do, im tired of seeing shit like this happen, and reporting does jack all
@@Cyge240sx *A spanking.
Oh god, hearing that EVERY country was committing fraud just made me think of that Jimmy Neutron episode with the school picnic
"Isn't there anybody, ANYBODY, who did NOT cheat?!" 😂
I'm paralyzed and play quite a bit of American wheelchair basketball and softball. There are guys who get in purely on "ankle issues". Shit I've seen 6'5" 250 pound former D1 college baseball players ("knee issues", walks with zero limp) in wheelchair softball. They're totally tone deaf to the spirit of the sport.
@@odn861 I can’t even imagine that. How do you say have no shame!?
@@odn861 Technically that's less fucked up, and I'm not trying to downplay your disability, but at least they are playing in a wheelchair(I get that being paralyzed and just using a wheelchair is different). But mental disability vs perfectly normal intelligence means theres no handicap put on the nondisabled person at all.
Is that the election one where the booty slap kid won by default because the rest of them cheated? Thanks for cheering me up on that thought. I'm so upset, but not surprised, that this is happening and not just in Spain.
BroadwayLover - I’m so disappointed in the cheating countries! How shameless
Now, the fact that *Fernando Martin Vincente* had an actual intellectually disabled daughter, is in my opinion, what makes the whole Paralympic scheme so much worse.
What I mean by that is: one would expect the parents of disabled people to be the most sensitive and understanding when it comes to such a sensitive matter, but apparently, that’s not the case at all.
And also dibs to _Carlos Ribadero_ for playing everyone like a fiddle. No, I mean it, for real, that guy played the double agent part to perfection.
I disagree with you because young people disabled or not disabled need more exercise than us people who are old need to in safer settings than any old park say in a residential area near the downtown core of a large city. Any park in a large city can be dangerous at times for young people to get exercise in thanks to predators who prefer to prey on children with more disabilities than what the rest of the chidlren there might have. Predators can spot a child with any disablitiy far faster than healthy people would because that is what they are looking for.

The older I get, the more I come to realize that Cartman really is an inspiration for some people, the worst kind of people.
Didn’t Cartman fake a disability in an episode?
Clearly you're not that old if reference South Park whenever someone fakes a disability. Not everyone watches that shit.
South Park is usually inspired by real life situations that already happened.
If the far right's reaction to the recent Kathleen Kennedy South Park episode is anything to go by yes Eric Cartman really is the inspiration for the the worst kind of people
My brother participates in the special Olympics.
I can’t imagine the type of person who would cheat against the intellectually disabled for financial gain. I hope the organizers and athletes who participated in this fraud at least feel some remorse, but it doesn’t seem like that is the case.
how does being retarded make you a worst athlete?
Eric Cartman style acts of evil.
Remorse is basically nonexistent in my experience
I'm assuming he is better at sports than you.
like cartman in south park but this isnt remotely funny
I'm so angry they just left those two players alone themselves while they all celebrated their fake win
😂🤡
@@Avery-hy5mg yes thanks 🤡
Why? Going to night clubs is even stressful for abled awkward folks. Be mad at the stolen valor and opportunity, not bc two men enjoyed a 4 star hotel.
The way he explained it sounded really sad but honestly I would be surprised if the disabled players wanted to go into such a stimulating/unpredictable environment like that. You're only looking at it from a non-disabled/neurotypical perspective. I bet they specifically asked to be left at the hotel, that seems pretty likely, not that they were just forced to be there.
Also depending how severe their disabilities were it could've been a huge liability to allow them to come with them
I have autism, and I’m a athlete, I box competitively and have for years, I obviously box with non disabled people, because that would be pointless, but I worked so hard for people to take me seriously, it took me getting black eyes, breaking peoples noses, getting concussions, severely injuring people, because how hard I had to fight, how many competitions I had to go 101% at, just so people wouldn’t look at me and laugh, because I would stutter and stim, so seeing how our people have been abused, we worked so hard to get people to take us seriously, and we get cheated out of our life goals. I’m beyond mad about that fucker. I hope the real disabled people got their medals and happy endings.
Wow, i'm autistic too and have always wanted to go into boxing. My dad knows how to box so he taught me a bit. Too bad there's not any boxing place where I live
As someone who has grown up an intellectually disabled it makes me so sad to see people faking it if they actually where disabled they would think twice and realise how much harder basic tasks are I am grateful to have a wonderful support system in place but thousands of people who are disabled aren’t so lucky a lot of us have to fight for basic rights!!
This scandal also inspired the Johnny Knoxville movie called "The Ringer". In the movie his character joins a Special Olympics by pretending he has an intellectual disability, but the Spanish scandal in my opinion is even worse than the movie's premise.
Well, yeah the real thing is worse. The movie (from what I remember) was respectful to the ID, used actual ID actors/athletes, the ID pretty quickly figure out Knoxville and call him out, and it was made along with the Special Olympics.
The Movie the Ringer was actually made under the supervision of the Special olympic committee if you look into it. They made sure they used athletes with ID/ PD and even had final say over the script
@@soren7550 That's great
@@VinceVintage It's a good thing it was done that way. They made sure that the cheating/pretending was the actual joke rather than the disable individuals themselves.
@@australisborealispolaris477 Okay, now I want to see this film
My little brother is special needs and has participated in disabled sports since he was young (he’s now 22). He’s still participating in basketball and baseball leagues.
If you have ever been to a disabled sporting event (which I have volunteered at countless events that my brother has been in) then you would be irate about this video.
The happiness and excitement these human beings derive from participating in sports is contagious.
The fact that anybody decided to take advantage of that is infuriating.
I hope this people rot in hell.
Your brother and his kind should've been euthnizd at conception lol
hear hear
Keep hoping cause hell ain’t real
He IS special needs?
You mean he HAS special needs.
Why you talk about disabled people like they some kind of weird creature?
Man I am torn on what disgusts me more, the cheating or how they left two teammates alone, and maybe anxious, and deprived two people who might very much benefit from a good time. The world is not so great for most people, but putting a negative instead of a positive is repulsive. The entire point of the entire thing is to give everyone a chance to compete, cope, and commune. They failed them at least twice over.
Eric Cartman did this once and failed
That is the funniest episode ever. I felt so guilty laughing at it but couldn't help myself. Every time it shows him trying and losing, I almost can't breathe. Thanks for that reminder.
@@susiepittman601 "Jimmy Jim Jimmy Jim, Thsssssst" pretending to shoot up, "JIMMAH JIMMAH JIMMAH JIMMAH!!!!" Just for Macky to go: "Yeah your Timmy..." like wtf...
Bad behavior like this causes the public to cast a skeptical eye on all nonprofits, even though plenty of them actually do help their communities and aren’t just there to line their founders’ pockets. What a sad situation.
yeah, what makes it difficult too is non-disclosure of (at minimum, large) donors, and the vast network of money holes that have been invented in order to hide where money is originally sourced from. even if they had to disclose funder sources (mainly large ones, esp from other organisations), funders would just go through the tangled net of these shadow funding sources. this would circle back to a prime issue NPOs already have: it takes a lot of time to check for validity, time many people don't have or don't want to dedicate to the task for a variety of reasons. and when scandals like this show up, it adds a myriad of reasons on top of the soup of why people don't want to choose to spend their time trying to figure it out.
for people who don't have the time for diving into the rabbithole, but who do want to help some NPO but don't know what to look for, i always suggest: how big is the organisation, how big is the scope and how much of a spectacle follows that organisation around? do they have periodicals sent to donors? did they advertise on television or through ad campaigns that are generally thought of as expensive (video ad campaigns are very expensive and especially if the ad has a variable amount of editing flair, an ad on a middle page of the local newspaper is very cheap and ads posted on a town hall bulletin is free, etc)? for rescue orgs, like animal sanctuary and poverty help and acute disaster help, do they invite people to spectate, and do they have an implied secondary goal of social disturbance or conformity to an expected norm for exchange of help (treating people as needing to be 'brought up' to the norms of western culture or religion, or treating animal sanctuaries as zoos, etc)?
most of these can be answered relatively easily with a cursory pass on their website and in general, if they show a lot of glitter and flair, find a better group tbh. and if they are helping folks then they should be open to understanding the people they're helping, not trying to bend them into an idealised concept of normal to the helpers.
Oh yeah? Tell me one if there is so many of them? Every charity is a grift in some capacity. They can be more or less. But every single one is ripe with corruption or corrupted practices.
The older I get the more and more skeptical and depressed I get about non profits. Between learning how their finances work and how comically easy it is to intact funnel profits. If someone wants to name themselves CEO of a non profit and give themselves a 1 million dollar salary that’s fine, that’s not profit that’s “salary”. Or just all the scandals and sketchy shit we find out they’re up to. Look at churches and all the evil stuff they’ve done before because they’re tax free so we have billionaire pastors or whatever they call themselves
The corruption of so called charities is one of the first things that made me permanently pessimistic and bitter
Yeah like BLM
The Journalist probably was in fact fearing his own demise and deciding to expose them. And the fact that this incident just happened and wasn't mentioned again is surprising.
The thing that he had no complete documentation if he just only went undercover says so much about his behavior to save face
nah f*ck that guy
when lies are the truth, there is a global conspiracy, of sin.
I learned long before this happened that people really suck.
why is somalia here
Not sure if you’re aware of this but the guy in your thumbnail is NOT disabled. That’s Ian Thorpe, Australia’s most successful Olympic male swimmer (not Paralympic). You should probably take his image away from the thumbnail, it’s not right or accurate. He’s a national hero.
I saw the thumbnail and came here to say the same thing!
Wasn't he near as makes no difference caught cheating too, tho?
@@annnee6818 what the fuck are you talking about?

I mean , with the recent scandal ( that Spanish guy that no consentually kissed the girl football player in front of cameras WHILE STILL being back down by the Spanish government), I’m not surprised anymore
It blows my mind that the fake athletes were dumb enough to realize that the gold winning picture on the newspaper was gonna immediately give them away with the people that knew them😂 like really? 💀
Just found this channel today. I’m an obsessed RUclips fan, amazing I never saw this before. Fantastic channel right up my ally. 👍🏼 thx
Im from spain and i actually know one of the non diabled spanish player. 3 or 4 years ago i played basketball in a team, and in my team there was the daughter of this player, her dad (the player) sometimes trained our team when the coaches werent able to. I first didnt know who was he (I wasnt born when the scandal happened), my dad one day told me and I searched him up on Google. I was pretty much shocked. He seemed a pretty chill guy and nice to the team and the coaches, I guess not everyone that seems nice is a good person, what he had done (the scandal) its really fucked up
sorry for the bad english
Being nice can mask your greed. When money and fame is involved even the pope isn't spared from this kind of temptation.
Your English is good
Lived 5 years in Canarias and 2 in Catalonia… This is some typical Spanish shit 😂
Your English is great Please don't apologize even if you messed up 😅 it's not big deal
Money motivates people.
I knew a paralympian who is also intellectually disabled, so I get an extra feel from this... Thanks for bringing a bit more light to this scandal. For matey! :) Good on ya Vince 💜
ah yes, a "friend"
I can't be ableist, some of my best friends are black.
As the mum of an Autistic + ADHD 8yo, who loves 'Inclusive Athletics (Disabled Athletics day)...
I can't imagine a bunch of NT kids coming in, gate crashing the event & taking the opportunity away from those who are genuinely invovled. So to imagine adults doing this is mind blowing!!
Everybody missed out on Olympic Medals out of pure greed & such heinous deceit! Huge hugs to the 2 men who were stolen from & ostracised from their own event 😢
"NT" Just say normal
I have an autistic & adhd kid. Why does your kid need a special day?
Jeez, these replies 🤦♀️ You’re right OP.
@ey-te1jx That would imply my child is 'abnormal' when he's just wired differently. In our home we embrace difference & don't use the word 'normal' bcoz literally EVERYBODY is different. No two of us are the same.
@TheRastacabbage My child's school run Inclusive Athletics and it's also become a regional initiative too, which is amazing! Less emphasis on winning, more abt having a go and cheering each other on. I'm not attempting to take anything away from your child. Maybe it's something you could suggest to your school. I'm in Australia and there's lots of inclusive programs all across our country & are of great benefit.
i love the editing in this, really chefs kiss
10:30 there is a flash of white and in that it says:

Great video about this, it was a big story, here in Australia, when it was first discovered - and the whole Olympic movement is corrupt AF - but why use Ian Thorpe on your thumbnail? Ian is a genuine, legendary athlete, who had nothing to do with this and has suffered depression and struggled with fame and life after sport, he doesn't deserve to be used as the face of this.
BTW if you're interested in the Olympics and their corruption, the Aussie comedy series "The Games" is a must watch 😂.
Exactly I'm wondering why Ian Thorpe is on the thumbnail..he's not disabled and an amazing swimmer for Australia!
Cuz Vince vintage is a beta male dummy who promotes scams and doesn’t do research
yes and he is using spanish NBA as the spanish players in the video. Ricky Rubio among others. Dead wrong to that!

Stories like this proves Karma is a joke and doesn’t exist. Everyone who was legit was given the short end of the stick while those who broke the system were given a slap on the wrist.
Who says they didn’t get their karma ?? Maybe their living it right now? Or maybe it’s still to come. Never underestimate the power of karma. Been living it.
I’m always telling people karma isn’t a thing as I see really good people have bad things happen to them and I also see awful people having great things happen to them. It’s just when someone gets their just desserts people say “that’s karma “ when it’s not. It’s just one of those things. If karma was real then my life would be better.
Westerners aand non theravedan buddhists have entirely the wrong idea of Karma. Buddha called karma THE UNTHINKABLE. Karma is not personal, not spiritual, it's universal and a physical force. If you do good, it does not magically come back to you. It basically says that your actions contribute to a karmic "stream", somewhat like a physical force in time that we cannot yet measure or concieve of properly because we're still working dimensions and time out. Things get kind of carried along in these streams, but it's not personal, and it's not magic.
The western concept of Karma is as stupid as believing there's an imaginary sky person who watches you and grants your wishes and sends you trials. Stupid. The universe doesn't give a shit about us, get used to it people.
@@athenaheralaufeyson367 truth is evil wins most of the time. The world is run by the selfish.
@@Bexks Karma also collects on debts from a past life. That's the actual belief in karma. If you did bad things in a previous life, got reincarnated and did good things in the current life, it doesn't necessarily negate the bad things you did in the lives before. When these bad things happen to you, that's the debt having to be paid. That's why enlightenment and nirvana are such important goals.
Sadly, as someone who has worked for a nonprofit that was supposed to help the homelessness crisis in San Francisco, I can tell you firsthand that most “nonprofits” that are created to help the homeless and the disabled ars actually just funnels for wealthy people to launder their money

Awesome video!!
One of the guys who was actually disabled is to this day absolutely crushed that they took his medal away and he’s banned from playing in the special and paralympics even though he didn’t know what was happening heartbreaking indeed
So many people were cheating in the Paralympics that it was just the normal Olympics
this really shows you what the Olympics/Professional sports is all about.
It's all about lobbying and money. Everything is about business and connections. Good things can't profit you in the long term so heck, put the façade on for as long as you can before you lost the most money due to exposure.
Eric Cartman IRL
yo sending a non disabled table tennis player is abhorrent. Table tennis is one of the most available and fun games for intellectually and physically disabled people to play. There are so many inspiring individuals who work every day on their game and to not take one of them because you would rather win is cruel. All the work, their whole life, and you dash their hopes. Awful. Winning is not worth it. Is only game.
edit: for some reason this video really made me miss living in Spain. the people are so blunt and there was so much corruption but god damn it is fun as hell to watch it play out. one love.
Why Ian Thorpe in the thumbnail though?
It just amazes me he didn’t think they wouldn’t recognize them in pictures or anything.. that’s what’s amazing to me.
I think it's worth noting that Special Olympics is nowhere near the kind of program the Paralympics is. It's not in as many countries, there aren't as many sports, and they don't get the same sponsorship opportunities. Most Paralympic sports still don't allow people with intellectual disabilities to compete because of this scandal, so those athletes are being denied so many opportunities. The Paralympics has a pretty narrow view of what disabilities they consider worthy, and this scandal just made things worse.
The issue of people exaggerating their disability during assessments has been a huge topic of controversy among athletes in recent years. People will go to ridiculous lengths to cheat. Many amputees have been outspoken about this in recent years, as their conditions are more black and white, which puts them at a disadvantage.
Also, thank you for acknowledging that these are real sports. People usually don't.
Maybe we should stop assigning intellectual disabilities to cases that aren't all that clear. I am reading the comparison of Dyslexia with severe brain deformities in this comment thread. The world is not ready for this discussion yet clearly. And in general, people don't understand shit. ^^ The man walked away with a €5400 fine. There is clearly nothing to be done here.

That is not true.
When people ask me where I'm from I tell them I'm Norwegian, even though I lived 6 years in France from age 0-6 and speak fluently french, but I have 0 relation to France other then having been there as a child and speaking french at home.
I don't relate to their customs, I don't relate to their culture, and I don't relate to french people.
After living 24 years in Norway and only been to France 4 weeks since I left I think I've earned the right to say that I'm not french, though I reserve the right to say that french people are fucking rude, pompous, and elitists 😬 so I don't totally disagree with your comment, I just wanted to say French people are the worst 😜

Informative video, cheers mate 👍🏼👍🏼
The worst thing about the story is that there are intellectually disabled people who are very athletic. Near where I am, a young woman with Downs crowd funded an entire special needs baseball field because she's so keen on the sport and she wanted her friends to be able to play.
Granted her friends with multiple handicaps might not be the biggest scorers (but who knows?) but she's quite talented.
Hey Vince, can I get a source on Carlos Ribagorda participating for 2 years before blowing the whistle? Everything I’ve read presents a much shorter 5 month timeline that paints him in a fairly positive light. Are you seeing something different in the non-English sources maybe?
All of the sources are in the video description
Nothing unusual. I went to a friends wedding who’s husband represented theUK in Paralympics. While he had a spine injury, he didn’t use a wheelchair or really in any way ‘less able’ than anyone else. But he was given a wheelchair to play basketball in.
Love the end card. That was hard to stop on to read!
Vince your content has been outstanding lately. Love the videos man
i’ve been binging vince’s videos, time to add another one to the list 😅
Thanks for speaking about disability in a dignified way ❤
Reminds of the Spanish woman who pretended to be a 9/11 survivor (Tania Head), saying she even lost her fiance there and became president of the survivors association. After being uncovered she faked her suicide (poorly) and went into hiding (she has been tracked down and exposed more than once; her dad and brother were convicted con men). Spain has an issue with con men.
I love how villain's always have their justification as to why they commit a crime.

You're the best RUclipsr - love your content. Holy shit this story is insane
As an autistic person this enrages me. While I am not qualified for special needs and didn’t need that sort of care, and probably wouldn’t be put on a team like that since autism doesn’t make me intellectually disabled, instead I have a disability that isn’t visual and effects me in other ways, ableism still effects me and many other people with different ranges of disabilities. Knowing the experience of having an invisible disability myself, it’s so terrible to take advantage of it and cheat when disabled people are just trying to play sports. And on top of that, leave out the actual disabled teammates! Sadly, I can definitely relate to being left out due to being on the spectrum, it’s a really shitty thing to do!
Sounds like a real pain to translate all of that but appreciate the work put in!
On a story like this all I can think about is that South Parks episode on the special olympics. Pretty sure that episode was inspired/based on this incident.
Always a good day when Vance uploads.
I think the journalist Carlos, realized he was gonna get caught since people recognized him after the game. Then pretended like he was doing it as an investigation the whole time, in an attempt to save face.

Thank God for Vince Vintage.
Quality content buddy, you never miss.
Its so nice to see my country (which is not a country) friesland being represented in this video hahah 6:58. Love that you put in the frysian flag but its not a countryv😂❤
this is horrendous how many folks are willing to stoop that low
I was very familiar with that story from another video but I didn't know that other countries did it too.
I mean, we all know that the richer countries probably dope the shit out of their players for the regular Olympics but doing that on the Paralympics sounds ungodly.
As someone who would PROBABLY be considered mentally disabled it was INFURIATING to watch this. Only the funny stock image animations soothed my soul. This dude really paraded around SEVERAL people who have already probably had extremely rough lives just because they were born with their brains a certain way all to line his own pockets. What was his punishment for this? A slap on the wrist.
I'm sure there's others like me in the comments, but I'm a person with invisible disabilities and it's crap like this that makes it so hard. People are so suspicious of our very real struggles, we're accused of faking it, told it 'can't be that bad', judged for using disabled facilities.
Bruhh that part where they were gonna give the gold to Russia but they were fraudulent too was such a plot twist
Being a track and field runner for many years, it warms my heart to see The Special and Paralympic Olympics! They literally kick ass and are just as amazing, but I hate to see assholes that lie about their disabilities to get ahead and don’t think they will get away with it! 💯
I caught the last frame it was quick. Also, they let him KEEP everything he stole? 5k fine? what a joke
