Paris 2024 venue masterplan
Following six-months of stakeholder engagement by the Organising Committee, the IPC Governing Board approved a new, optimised venue masterplan for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. The plan makes budget savings, enables certain venues to be shared, increases sustainability and further enhances the Paralympic sport programme and athlete experience.
As part of the updated plan, Para swimming will now take place at the La Défense Arena, Para powerlifting in the La Chapelle Arena and wheelchair rugby at the Champs de Mars Arena. The latter two venues will also host two Para sports back-to-back during the Games in order to drive efficiencies.

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has suspended US Para athlete Sebastiana Lopez for four years after committing an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV).
The F54 thrower returned an adverse analytical finding for a prohibited substance in a urine sample provided on 26 August 2019 during the Lima 2019 Parapan American Games in Peru. The prohibited substance was GW501516, which is included on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List under the class S4 - Hormone and Metabolic Modulators.
As a result of the violation, Lopez will be ineligible for competition for four years from 5 September 2019 to 4 September 2023. All the athlete’s individual results obtained at the 2019 Parapan American Games are disqualified, with all resulting consequences including forfeiture of any medals, points or prizes.
