No action on bet allegations until facts are in, say OCI

The Olympic Council of Ireland will take no action on the betting allegation against Star Class skipper Peter O’Leary until they receive the full documentation requested from the person making the allegation.

That was the clear message from an OCI spokesman yesterday who praised the O’Leary/David Burrows crew for the way they responded to the controversy.

“It is encouraging to see Peter O’Leary and David Burrows doing so well despite the controversy and I know everyone in the Irish camp are totally behind them,” he said.
