Sadegh Beit Sayah (Persian: صادق بیت سیاح, born 17 December 1986)[1] is an Iranian Paralympic athlete who specializes in throwing events.
Career
[edit]He won the silver medal in the men's javelin throw F41 event at the 2020 Summer Paralympics held in Tokyo, Japan.[2]
He initially placed first at the 2024 Paralympics but was disqualified under Rule 8.1 (Unsporting or improper conduct). An appeal by the Iranian delegation was dismissed the following day. Iranian authorities confirmed that Sayah had displayed a religious flag during the competition, which is against World Para Athletics regulations.[3][4][5]
