As Aaron Cook awaits the British Olympic Association's decision on his GB Taekwondo selection, his solicitors are exploring their options.

Bob Mitchell, a partner at London law firm Harbottle & Lewis said:

"I can confirm that we are advising Aaron on the possible legal avenues which may be open to him.

"Aaron would prefer not to take legal action but will do so if necessary as he feels very strongly about how the selection process has been conducted and also that he has the greatest chance of being successful at the Games."
