Michael O'Reilly created the headlines last night when it was confirmed by the Olympic Council of Ireland that he is "no longer contesting" his provisional suspension.

The middleweight will no longer compete at the Rio Olympics after failing a doping test before arriving in Brazil.

The 23-year-old has already apologised to his team-mates and his supporters after admitting to taking a supplement that may have contained a banned substance.

Bernard Dunne called it "the most idiotic decision he'll ever make".
