The AIBA - who run world amateur boxing - have admitted that there have been problems with the officiating and judging at some bouts at the Games.

"Less than a handful of the decisions were not at the level expected and consequently it has been decided that the concerned referees and judges will no longer officiate at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

"In accordance with AIBA Rules the result of all the bouts will stand."

How many decisions can you fit in your hand? I can fit 17 average decisions in one hand but maybe only 5 Olympic sized ones.

RTE is reporting tonight that Brazilian police are seeking the passports of three OCI members, including John Delaney, having already gotten the passports of Dermot Henihan, Kevin Kilty and CEO Stephen Martin. The OCI seems to be co-operating with the police inquiry, as a group and as individuals within it.

It's probably an oxymoron, but I think the blazers are beginning to unravel.
