    Has this been confirmed, though? Dominic O'Rourke, the IABA president looks cosy enough posing with Rakhimov.

    I saw a pic on Dublin Boxing Board's FB page with O'Rourke and Rakhimov, at least that's what the page says.

    Ewan McKenna has a detailed article in the indo from yesterday on it, and the article neither confirms or denies how IABA voted.

    Oh right, I only saw the pic with Konakbayev so assumed that was the hint!

    Either way, it was on Morning Ireland that they’d voted for Konakbayev. They wished it to be clarified but didn’t want to say any more than that.

    The question remains why would over 80 member associations vote for a candidate with such alleged serious criminal links and with the very real risk of severing the vital Olympic lifeline. That’s what journalists need to be focused on.
