Delaney has finally broken his silence over his involvement as a volunteer member of the OCI after Brazilian police had initially issued a warrant for his passport as part of their investigations into the Olympic ticketing scandal – a warrant that has since been withdrawn.

Delaney has confirmed that the Brazilian police have never contacted him directly in relation to their investigation and says that he has had "absolutely no role or involvement in the OCI's handling of ticketing arrangements" for the Rio Olympics.

He also says that the appointment of PRO 10 as the OCI's Authorised Ticket Reseller had never been brought to the attention of the OCI Board.
