London - Three members of Jordan’s paralympic team will be flown home after being accused of sexually assaulting underage girls while training in Northern Ireland, sports officials in Amman have said . The trio are expected to return the United Kingodm (UK) on October 18 for the hearing. Jordan’s squad is one of several national teams training ahead of the Paralympics which begin on 29 August. Reports said Jordan decided to pull out the athletes from the games because it “would be inappropriate for the accused athletes to compete” in the international tournament. “We have zero tolerance on any misconduct and will continue to work closely with the Northern Ireland authorities to assist in their investigation,” Jordanian authorities said the statement.
