British Paralympic athlete Sophie Hahn has said having her impairment classification questioned by the father of a rival was "heartbreaking".

Michael Breen, father of sprinter and long jumper Olivia Breen, cast doubt on her classification at a Parliamentary select committee in October.

"I was very angry and upset," Loughborough-based Hahn said. "I work unbelievably hard on the track".

Hahn, who has cerebral palsy, won T38 100m Paralympic gold in Rio.

She also has four individual world titles.

African Trader and Scribner Creek were mistakenly run in races they were not scheduled to contest on 14 January.

Neither horse won and the confusion was put down to human error.

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) said: "The priority now is to ensure the BHA takes whatever steps are appropriate and necessary to ensure that this issue does not occur again.

"It is vital that the public's trust in racing as a fair, well-regulated sport, which is run with the highest standards of professionalism and integrity, is not impacted by similar incidents".
