Elsewhere, OFI president Sarah Keane confirms approach over vacant FAI chief executive role.
THE OLYMPIC FEDERATION of Ireland has confirmed that it has submitted its own data analytics to the International Olympic Committee as part of the review carried out by the boxing taskforce following Daina Moorehouse’s controversial defeat in Paris.
The pair were re-instated for Paris and there was outrage in the immediate aftermath of the fight. Speaking to Morning Ireland, Sherrard said the IOC had contacted the OFI. “Look, unfortunately that sometimes is boxing and very glad to see that the boxing programme as a whole, particularly with Kelly’s performance, came through very strongly.”
Keane explained that the IOC has requested that the OFI withdraw its recognition of the Irish Athletic Boxing Association as the national federation in the coming months.
