Irish Olympian Rhys McClenaghan has been blocked from competing in the upcoming Commonwealth Games by the International Gymnast Federation.
McClenaghan represented Ireland at the Tokyo Olympics where he missed out on a medal in the final and is the current Commonwealth champion.
The games are set to take place in Birmingham later this year and McClenaghan confirmed the news that he would not be able to compete, and fellow Northern Ireland athletes Eamon Montgomery and Ewan McAteer will not be able to compete.
