O’Connor’s solicitor considers legal action on theft of sample

CIAN O’Connor’s solicitor yesterday refused to rule out the possibility of legal action following the theft of a portion of the B sample taken from the horse Waterford Crystal.

Andrew Coonan of Coonan Cawley also revealed that security at the firm's Naas office had been tightened following the break-in at the head offices of the EFI.

He also claimed that the FEI had yet to make contact with him following the revelation that part of the B sample believed to be the urine sample had gone missing.
