Irish athlete attacks RTÉ pundit over training remarks

IRISH athlete James Nolan last night launched a blistering attack on former Olympian turned RTÉ pundit Jerry Kiernan.

Nolan who last night finished 10th in the semi-finals of the 1500m behind Adil Kaouch (Morocco) was furious with remarks made by the Kerry native questioning the UCD runner’s commitment after the first round on Friday.

Nolan who has suffered from hip and hamstring problems slammed such suggestions.
