Walsh hits out at horses**t report

BILLY WALSH, head coach to the Irish boxing team in Beijing, has dismissed a report that their Olympic preparations were being hampered by the fact that they had elected not to train at the official training site for the boxers.

“It’s the biggest load of horses**t I’ve ever heard,” said Walsh, himself an Olympic boxer. “I did an interview with a journalist, and we were talking about things, training in Vladivostok which was very good.

‘‘We talked about fine-tuning here at the Olympic Village as the gym was a bit of a hike but it is the same problem for everyone.’’
