Tuesday he decided to charge Olympic Council of Ireland President Patrick Hickey
and nine others with ticket scalping, conspiracy and ambush marketing, after
reviewing the police investigation.We found enough evidence linking Hickey to
this plot to sell tickets by a company that was not authorized, Kac told The
Associated Press. These are tickets that were sold for up to $8,000.Earlier
Tuesday, Hickey arrived at police headquarters, but declined to answer
additional questions after he was summoned in the wake of new findings. Hickey,
71, also made no comment to reporters upon leaving.The OCI head was arrested on
Aug. 17 during the games in his Rio hotel room. Also the head of Europes Olympic
bodies, Hickey was jailed in a prison complex after a two-day stay in a local
hospital to undergo tests because of his medical history.He was set free last
week when a judge ruled that he wasnt a risk to the public or the investigation.
His passport was confiscated, and he must remain in Brazil until the case is
concluded.Police have said that Hickey plotted with businessmen to transfer
tickets illegally from a sports company called Pro 10 to hospitality provider
THG Sports, which was a non-authorized vendor and allegedly sold them for very
high fees. Police investigators said the scheme was planned to rake in $3
million.The head of THG Sports, Kevin James Mallon, was arrested on Aug. 5 in
the case, but was set free, like Hickey. He is also facing the same charges and
must remain in Brazil.The eight other suspects are businessmen with Pro10 and
THG Sports who are not in Brazil, including Marcus Evans, who owns THG Sports
parent company, as well as English soccer club Ipswich Town.Hickey has stepped
aside temporarily as an IOC member and all his other Olympic positions.Police
investigator Aloysio Falcao said they wanted to talk to IOC President Thomas
Bach about email exchanges between him and Hickey related to ticket allocations
to Ireland but learned he canceled his trip to Brazil for the Paralympic Games.
The IOC said Tuesday that Bach had to attend the official state mourning
ceremony for Walter Scheel, the former West Germany president.During his stay,
we were going to summon him to speak to us, he said. Still, investigators said
they have not found any evidence of Bachs knowledge of the alleged
scheme.Investigators have also found evidence linking 35 other National Olympic
Committees to the Marcus Evans group. Rio police will communicate this to other
governments but are not expanding their own investigation.

trainer Vincent Malady.The 19-year-old will ride the Blackiston-trained Sonsee

starts while on Sunday he was aboard the Blackiston-trained Amarela who finished
fourth in the Listed Kilmore Cup.The trainer said he could not have asked for
more from that ride.Hes ridden a winner, a couple of placings and if you watch
his ride in the Kilmore Cup on my mare, it was a fantastic run, Blackiston
said.From the outside barrier, to get home and run fourth it was a beautiful
ride.Hes a very good horseman, typical of those European styles the way hes been
taught.Hes a very capable young man and claims two kilos in the country and in
the metropolitan area.Oisin Murphy had a successful summer stint in Melbourne

ride on six-year-old Amortise who finished sixth in a benchmark 64 (1400m) at
Bendigo on November 9 at his first start for 12 months.Amortise steps to 1800m
in the Polytrack Handicap while three-year-old filly Sonsee Array chases a
maiden win in the Moorookyle Park Stud Plate (1800m) after making ground when
fourth in a 1600m maiden at Moe last start.Blackiston also has Itchikoo Park in
that race.I thought it was a nice run from Amortise first-up and he can take
good benefit from that but he will improve more with another run under his belt,
Blackiston said.Sonsee Array, I thought her run was excellent the other day on
an unsuitable sort of track at Moe. She got around the turns and finished off
strongly.I think the extra distance will suit her down to the ground.
