Pat Hickey vows to 'fight each and every charge'

Pat Hickey has come out fighting against charges laid against him by Brazilian authorities, claiming he will contest “each and every one”, writes Noel Baker of the Irish Examiner.

The longtime president of the Olympic Council of Ireland, who temporarily stood down following his arrest during the Rio Games in connection with a probe into ticketing, issued a statement in which he said he had just received formal notification from the Brazilian authorities of the charges laid against him.
