Paralympic champion, Kadeena Cox has said the Para-athletics classification review is "not nice" but is "fair".

The 26-year-old, whose classification changed from T37 to T38 ahead of the Rio Games, has defended the system after accusations of manipulation.

Cox, who won golds in cycling and athletics in Rio, will have her T38 athletics category reviewed in 2018.

"It's not a nice process - it's exhausting and a very draining thing to go through," she told BBC Sport.

"But they want to make it as fair as possible."

Cox, who was named on the England Commonwealth Games Para-athletics team on Monday, has multiple sclerosis, which affects the nervous system.

After initially being assessed as a T37 athlete, she was re-classified to the T38 category for less-impaired athletes in the build-up to the Rio Paralympics.

In October, the International Paralympic Committee announced a revision of the Para-athletics classification system following consultation, meaning all athletes in the T31-38 categories will be assessed again next year.

The T31-38 categories include conditions that cause increased muscle tone, involuntary muscle contractions or affect muscle co-ordination, such as cerebral palsy, brain injuries, stroke or multiple sclerosis,

It means Cox and fellow Paralympic champions Sophie Hahn, Georgie Hermitage, Paul Blake and Hannah Cockroft will be among those who will have to go through the process again.
