PRO10: We complied with authorised ticket reseller guidelines

The company authorised to sell Irish Olympic tickets has claimed it always acted properly and fully in line with guidelines.

PRO10 Sports Management, who was authorised to sell the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) allocated tickets, said they had simply given tickets to Irishman Kevin Mallon to allow their customers collect them in Rio.

It comes as Sports Minister Shane Ross prepares to fly to Rio de Janeiro tomorrow to meet with the head of the OCI, Pat Hickey, to question how around 1,000 tickets reportedly ended up on the black market.
