The Olympic Council of Ireland wants to block Pat Hickey from returning to its board.
The former OCI President could automatically qualify if he resumes his work with the International Olympic Committee.
But The Times suggests that would automatically make him an ‘ex officio’ member of the OCI board – meaning he could return without voting rights.
Mr Hickey’s alleged role in a ticketing scandal at the Rio Games will be discussed by an Oireachtas committee today.
Senator John O’Mahony has criticised his lack of involvement with a recent judicial inquiry.
