The Irish Basketball Association has backed the bid by Richard Burrows to oust Pat Hickey as President of the Olympic Council of Ireland.
IBA President Finn Ahern said this morning: "The time for direct action is now.
Our athletes cannot afford to wait another four years to have a unified support structure that combines the best efforts of the OCI, Irish Sports Council and National Coaching & Training Centre in providing the high level of assistance that they deserve."
So strong are the IBA's views on the issue, that the association has put forward Ahern as a "change candidate" for the position of General Secretary.
