The member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from the United Kingdom, Adam Pengilly, was severely obstructed for his aggressive behavior at the Olympics. The British were expelled from the Games for a fight with the guard, reports on Thursday, February 15, Insidethegames. According to the publication, the conflict between an IOC official and a security officer occurred this morning on the threshold of the hotel. As a result, the organization recommended that the British collect things and go home. "We want to apologize for the behavior of one of our members and very much regret the incident. After talking with an IOC ethics officer, he will immediately leave the Olympic Games in South Korea. IOC reiterates its gratitude to the authorities and police of South Korea for their excellent work. Adam Pengilli apologized to the victim, "- said in a statement IOC in connection with the incident. The organization was added that his membership in the Committee ends on February 25. Pengilli himself, as an excuse, told the story of a misunderstanding. Allegedly he wanted to go to the bus crossing, and not into the pedestrian zone, but the guard blocked his way and demanded to show accreditation. Then he asked her to take a picture, and then the Briton suffered some kind of nonsense.

He ran past the guard, he shouted to him in the back "stand" that Pengilli heard, but "did not look back, did not look back". And he, it turns out, fell and even got scratches. But the representative of the IOC swears he did not touch the security officer. Recall, on February 1, Pengilli criticized the decision of the Sports Arbitration Court (CAS) to annul the decision of the IOC regarding 28 Russian athletes who had previously been accused of violating the Anti-Doping Rules on OI-2014.

Pengilli called the verdict of the court "the triumph of deceivers and thieves".
