Ireland's preparations for Olympics in tatters as Michael O'Reilly suspended

Team Ireland’s preparations for the Rio Olympic Games lay in tatters tonight as 22-year-old Portlaoise native Michael O'Reilly has been suspended having tested positive for a banned substance, writes Daniel McConnell.

O’Reilly was tested before leaving for Rio by the Sport Ireland Anti-Doping Agency and returned “an adverse analytical finding in an A-sample”.
