O’Connor confident
Andrew Coonan gave an unequivocal "yes" when asked yesterday if the Olympic champion believed he could prevail and retain his gold medal. However, he refused to divulge how O'Connor plans to achieve his aims.
He made his comments just hours before the FEI confirmed the receipt of O'Connor's written explanation for the presence of human anti-psychotic drugs in his mount, Waterford Crystal. The comprehensive document sent to the FEI Lausanne headquarters yesterday just ahead of the deadline numbers 18 pages.
