American broadcaster NBC was told to cease ringside commentary on Friday after amateur boxing's governing body complained to Olympics organizers that their presence was disrupting officials at the arena.
NBC, a unit of Comcast Corp, was the only broadcaster allowed to commentate from the ringside floor and the International Boxing Association (AIBA) said they disturbed officials sitting next to them throughout the competition.
It recommended to the London organizing committee (LOCOG) that NBC's commentary team leave their position. They were offered a space with the other media but decided to leave instead, AIBA said.
"NBC commentators were offered a booth in the media tribune like other broadcasters because they were very disturbing for AIBA officials - even during bouts they were not broadcasting - being located at the edge of the Field of Play," an AIBA spokesman said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
"They claimed that since no boxers from the USA were still in the running, they didn't want to stay anyway." [Click Here To Read More]
