It will be up to the OCI but I imagine the body will have to have a good explanation as to why it has taken such time to get its house in order. I would not like to see our athletes put at any further disadvantage. The Moran report indicated that athletes were not the priority of the OCI in recent years but that commercial considerations were the priority. I would not like them to be penalised by the actions of people who let them down in the past.

I will ask about the role Mr. Mulvey played in Rio. Who asked him to intervene to resolve the stand-off between the Minister and the president of the OCI?
