Hickey returns to Ireland, vows to clear name

(Reuters) - Ireland's former Olympic chief Pat Hickey returned to Dublin on Sunday and said he will continue to fight to clear his name after being charged in Brazil in August over an alleged scheme to sell Olympic tickets illegally.

Hickey was allowed to return home after posting 1.5 million reais ($442,282) in bail lat week. The money was loaned to him by an umbrella body representing national Olympic committees.
