IOC gonna IOC. There's a reason no one should ever want to host the Olympics, why help make these #######s rich?
Quote:
Rio de Janeiro authorities arrested IOC executive board member Patrick Hickey on Wednesday morning, according to multiple reports. The head of the European Olympic committee is being accused of illegally scalping tickets for the Summer Games currently being held in Rio.
The Irish Independent reports that Hickey was arrested in Rio’s Barra neighborhood Wednesday morning and taken to the hospital after feeling ill at the moment of his arrest. His credentials were also seized by police.
The AP reports that Hickey is suspected of participating in the action “with at least six others” and that agents have seized more than 1,000 tickets that had been sold for high fees after being allocated by the Olympic Council of Ireland. Another Irish executive was arrested in the same probe last week.
