Paddy Power's controversial Oscar Pistorius advert is to be withdrawn with immediate effect, after the advertising watchdog received an "unprecedented number of complaints" over it - more than 5,200 so far.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has launched an investigation into an ad by bookmaker Paddy Power guaranteeing to refund losing bets if South African athlete Oscar Pistorius is acquitted of murder.
46 complaints were made to the ASA about the promotion, which appeared in newspapers and on social media.
A petition on Change.org has also been signed by more than 115,000 people.
A spokesperson for Paddy Power said: "Despite the ASA announcing their investigation, we stand by our decision to run this betting market and publicise it to punters."
The Democratic presidential candidate may also have shown his cards on his choice of running mate.
The US president also shared a post on Twitter accusing Dr Anthony Fauci of misleading the public over hydroxychloroquine.
