Former Olympic Council of Ireland President Pat Hickey remained tight-lipped about his previous relationship with Vladimir Putin - when confronted by us.
Mr Hickey, 76, who once said he built up a “relationship” with Mr Putin for up to a decade, refused to comment when asked about the Russian autocrat’s horrific actions in Ukraine yesterday.
We approached Mr Hickey near his home in Dublin’s leafy Castleknock, where at first he stopped and smiled as our reporter approached- but once we stated who we were he said: “I don’t want to talk to you.”
