SOUTH Korea’s Oympic Sailing Coach, Lee Jae-cheol, has been sent home after he was caught drink driving.

The disgraced coach was more than twice the legal limit after enjoying a welcome party for the visiting athletes.

He was banned from driving in the UK for 18 months and given a fine and costs totalling £340.

After emergency talks held by the South Korean Olympic Delegation, it was decided that the coach would be sent back to Seoul as an additional punishment.
