Vanuatu still seeking justice after Olympic beach volleyball snub

The President of the Vanuatu Olympic Committee, Antoine Boudier, is still pursuing justice for beach volleyball duo Miller Pata and Linline Matauatu, after they were denied a last minute chance to compete in the Rio Olympics last year.

In the end they missed out after the Italians were allowed to replace one of their two athletes even though she had failed a dope test.

Mr Boudier has just been voted on to the Oceania National Olympic Committees executive board, and he says he's determined that the ideals which ONOC aspires to, should apply to the entire Olympic movement.

He says at the end of the day it’s not about his country.

“I think we are here really to serve the regions. We are her to serve the needs of our athletes. Actually for me its bringing a little bit of a business background into the sporting movement. We will actually restructure a few things. And we have so much to achieve,” he told Pacific Beat.
