Olympics: The Athletes Commission endorse Richard Burrows

The Athletes Commission have unanimously endorsed Richard Burrows ahead of Pat Hickey for the presidency of the Olympic Council of Ireland.

However, the body - made up of Olympians from the last three summer and winter Games - does not have a vote for tomorrow's election at Jury's Ballsbridge Hotel.

Terry McHugh, a major figure in the body, said tonight that the outgoing council of the OCI had no right to vote in an election that would not affect them.
