The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC)

Australia seeks to have detained athletes' records cleared

This comes after their accreditation passes were tampered with after an investigation labelled the criminal process "oppressive".

Nine athletes were detained on August 19 by local authorities for over seven hours after they were discovered to have entered the basketball arena without proper accreditation for Australia's semi-final against Serbia.

They were released without conviction after the AOC agreed to pay court-ordered fines of 10,000 Brazilian reais ($4,119) for each athlete.
