TTOC defends Chef Hypolite's role in Rio

Just over a week after the conclusion of the Olympic Games in Brazil, the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) is officially defending the team's Chef de Mission against public criticism of his performance in Rio de Janeiro.

Questions were raised about the role of Dr. Ian Hypolite, who served as Chef de Mission and also worked throughout the Games in Rio as an analyst on an ESPN television commentary panel.

In a news release issued yesterday, the TTOC said: "At no time during the four weeks of Team TTO's participation in the Rio Games (including the pre-games camp) did the Chef de Mission either abdicate his role or delegate any of his duties. The TTOC therefore affirms that Dr. Hypolite discharged all of the responsibilities assigned to him as Chef de Mission."
