He said women’s sport was “more comparable” to the Paralympics than to men’s sport.
Sabisky previously suggested giving children mental performance-enhancing drugs is probably worth “a dead kid once a year”.
In an article posted online in 2014, he compared black and white American IQ levels, concluding a greater percentage of black people are “close to the typical boundary for mild mental retardation”.
He advocated for eugenics, a practice to improve genetic qualities favoured by the far right.
In an extraordinary media briefing, a spokesman for 10 Downing Street refused more than 30 times to say whether Johnson agrees with the views.
The spokesman would only say: “The Prime Minister’s views are well publicised and well documented.”

Asked to point to examples, the spokesman was unable to supply any evidence.
The spokesman still refused to engage after references were made to an article previously published by Johnson which described black people as “piccaninnies” with “watermelon smiles”.
The spokesman would not even say if Sabisky has a job in Downing Street.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the Tory government needs to get a grip.
“These are really not acceptable headlines for any government to be generating or allowing to be generated.
