SOUNDBITE (English) Nick Green, Australia team Chef de Mission:

"At about three o'clock, three-thirty in the morning, I had a phone call. We had an unfortunate incident with one of our rowers, Josh Booth, from the men's eight. He got himself into some trouble. He was detained by the police last night for damage to a shop front. He was then taken to a police station. He fainted while he was there and hit his head at the police station and was taken to the hospital for precautions. He was released from the hospital and is now back in the rowing village within the rowing centre accommodation. The rowing doctor and the rowing section manager were present from this. He was released as I said and no charges have been laid. He has to go back to the police station tomorrow where the police will either investigate the matter and make some outcomes over their investigations."
