Olympic Council fella Pat Hickey Arrested in Rio

Shuttle666

I am sure he has a very worried family and children.

No doubt including the son that OCI confirmed previously worked with THG - reports are he was in the adjoining suite?

Feel sorry for The O' Donovans & Annelise Murphy....they're going to have to go on the Late Late Show without Pat Hickey to accompany them. That must be a devastating blow for them.

The OCI are selling tickets for it, just bring cash to some shady looking guy on a street corner in Rio.

Squeaky bum time me thinks. Would hate to be in a Brazilian prison. Maybe we can start up an Irish series Banged up in South America with the recent lot ? I would be feeling sick if I got arrested there.

Just hope to god we don't try bring him back here like that embarrassment michaela, if he was involved in breaking the law there he deserves to do the time there regardless of age or circumstances

Kevin Mallon is a businessman, a soft one with no stomach for sitting in a Brazilian jail. As a middleman his role/crime is relatively minor so I'd say he hasn't been holding back even an ounce of information in order to get himself out of that jail.

I am sure Mr Hickey will be pleased to have the opportunity to clear up this mess once and for all. While there is no question of any wrong doing on his part, the IOC's, or its relationship with THG, a clear the air exchange of views should be productive as a means of putting this matter to rest. It is unfortunate that this process will interrupt Pat Hickey's work on behalf of Ireland and its athletes while the games are still in progress. This is unfortunate for the athletes and teams there, but hopefully they will be unaffected by this distraction and still give their all in their events.

The Rape of Lucretia wrote: »

He brings a very positive energy to the whole team which rubs off on everyone. As a long term, tireless, and selfless servant to Irish athletes, we may be sure that Mr Hickey will be assisting the authorities in their investigation as fully as possible, and his only thought will be to get back to representing Ireland for the remainder of the games.

I hope not. Touts provide a very valuable service, oiling the market of supply and demand. Very often, its the only way I can get tickets. Touts just show that tickets were too cheap to begin with. More power to them I say.

Mod:

The Rape of Lucretia, don't post in this thread again.

Everyone else, stop replying to him/her.

The poor civil servants in the department of foreign affairs will be knackered with all that travelling between Egypt and Brazil.

And we all laughed ...

Selfless would be one where he didn't pick up such nice daily expenses.

Ahh I see why you are such a fan and apologist for pat hickey.

Doesn't your buddy pat supply you with tickets or are these tickets for the sports he hasn't got his greasy fingers on ?
Better call his sidekick mr delaney.

I wonder how The Rape of Ludraman will spin that ?

Don't the Brazilians know that the OCI is holding an inquiry?
Surely they should wait for the findings.

Isn't Pat Hickey tight with John Delaney. John will be desperately distancing himself.

Summary of Sinead O' Carroll on Twitter : Hickeys' wife told police he had left the country after meeting Shane Ross. They found him in an adjoining room.

This is comedy gold.

Garda trying to get him but no extradition treaty. I say let the Brazilians deal with it as it's happened there.
