The Belgian Olympic Committee says it has ordered cyclist Gijs Van Hoecke to return home after photos appeared of him looking inebriated and unable to walk while leaving a London nightclub. Several British and Belgian newspapers published photos showing Van Hoecke, his eyes closed and his trousers and shirt wet, being helped into a vehicle by teammates.

Van Hoecke, 20, told Belgian network VRT that he regrets the incident, but that he was just "letting off some steam" after two years of hard work.
