Two men died during the Ironman event in Youghal
Ironman has threatened legal action against Triathlon Ireland as the row over when Ironman was told the race would not be sanctioned rumbles on.
The Irish Times reports Ironman International told Triathlon Ireland to withdraw the statement it issued the day after the race in Youghal in Cork.
Triathlon Ireland released a statement eight days ago saying its Technical Officials attended before the start of the race to review conditions and carry out a water safety assessment.
The statement goes on to say that the officials confirmed to the race organisers that it was not possible to sanction the race.
Ironman hit back with a statement one day later that said its officials had been told the race wouldn't be sanctioned only when the swim had already been completed.
The Irish Times reports that Ironman solicitors have informed Triathlon Ireland solicitors that they will launch a defamation action in the coming days if Triathlon Ireland does not publicly withdraw its statement.
