A cyclist who was filmed launching a misogynistic tirade at a driver in Sydney is reportedly an Irish olympian.

Tony Lally, who represented Ireland in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, was filmed using abusive language towards a woman who he accused of “nearly knocking [him] off.”

A spokesperson for NSW Police told the Daily Mail that they were investigating the incident.

This video shows the driver, identified only by her first name Monique, talking to 7 News about her experience.
