IOC exec Hickey out of hospital

Arrested IOC official Pat Hickey has been released from hospital and taken to a Rio de Janeiro police station for questioning, the Olympic Council of Ireland says.

Brazilian police arrested Europe's top Olympic official in a dawn raid on his hotel on Wednesday, in connection with an investigation into the illegal resale of Olympics tickets.

The 71-year-old was admitted to Samaritano hospital for chest pain after his arrest.
