Heather Mills’ hopes of competing in Sochi ended Monday when the International Paralympic Committee ruled a new prosthetic she was using hadn’t been ratified by the governing body. An application for a place in Britain’s team was withdrawn.
IPC spokesman Craig Spence says the 45-year-old Mills confronted ski committee head Sylvana Mestre at a hotel in Austria, swore at her and said “you don’t know who I am, I’m going to make your life miserable.”
Mills faces being fined by the IPC.
