Report into Ticketing at Rio Olympic Games: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Ms Sarah Keane:
Yes. It has indicated that the ethics commission will make its decision once the legal proceedings in Rio de Janeiro have come to some conclusion. It is my understanding an IOC spokesperson made a statement, either last night or this morning, that was reported in which this was referenced. If my understanding is correct, the ethics commission will then look at the issue. It will consider matters other than whether the former president has been convicted and look at whether conduct was in adherence to the overall Olympic movement's principles and charter.
