Britain's International Olympic Committee member, Adam Pengilly, has apologised after an altercation with a security guard at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

However, he has denied showing any physical aggression to the security guard as he left the Olympic Family hotel on Thursday, per Nick Butler of Insidethegames.biz:

"I tried to walk past a security guard when he told me to go the other way. He blocked my path, came close to me, and asked to see my accreditation. I showed it and, when he came even closer to me, I asked to see his manager.
