Morale remains high in Irish Olympic camp

IRISH Olympic bosses insist their final preparations for Athens will not be damaged by the Cathal Lombard doping scandal.

The majority of the Irish delegation are set to arrive in the Greek capital over the next two days in preparation for Friday night's opening ceremony in the Olympic Stadium.

Chef de Mission William O'Brien stressed yesterday that morale was high in the camp despite the happenings of the past 48 hours.
