Brazilian police investigating Pat Hickey in connection with an alleged ticket touting operation believe they have evidence that a similar scheme was in place at the London 2012 Olympics and there were plans to repeat it in Tokyo 2020.

Police have reviewed documents and emails seized during an operation at the Rio Games last month and have claimed that the full extent of the suspected scalping operation is wider than initially thought.

“The exchange of messages, spreadsheets and documents analysed has strengthened the investigation and showed that the scam was vast,” a police source said.

    I hope Hickey’s health has improved. Shame how he became ill just as he was arrested. Luckily he proved healthy when released.

      Was it wise of him to travel to Rio at all if his health was so bad? Maybe we should insist people like him get a medical clearance cert before they travel in future ….
