23 year old Irish Boxer Michael O'Reilly has become the first athlete to
fail a drug test at Rio Olympics after he was caught by a random drug
test before his team flew to Brazil yesterday for the tournament.
The Irish Amateur Boxing Federation confirmed that O'Reilly is
temporarily suspended pending a full investigation.
Following his positive test he has the right as an athlete to request a
B-sample.
Michael has a week to clear his name before being struck out of the
Olympic Games as his opening bout, a second round fight as he is third
seed, is scheduled for next week Friday.
Michael O'Reilly was earlier in May fined £5,000 and sent home from an
Olympic qualifying tournament in Turkey for bringing Irish boxing into
disrepute.
