Heather Mills accused of 'harassing' Paralympic official

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has claimed Heather Mills "verbally abused" and physically harassed" an official after learning that she would not be able to compete at the 2014 Sochi Paralympics.

The IPC said Mills, 45, went into a "wild tantrum" after learning that she would not be allowed to participate in the alpine ski competition due to an issue with the adaptive equipment she would have been using, according to the BBC.

"She jumped on me. She grabbed me from the back and she started to say that 'you don't know who I am, I will make your life miserable.'"

However, a statement on behalf of the former model claims Mestre shouted at her after Mills "waited patiently to try and explain...that her left boot was legal and purely cosmetic to abide by the archaic IPC rules."

Mills' coach has claimed there was a "vendetta" against her.
