Team GB threatens to sue Leave.EU over Olympic video
Leave.EU has been threatened with legal action by Team GB for using images of Olympic medallists as part of its Brexit campaign.
The British Olympic Association (BOA) has written to the Brexiters telling them to remove images of Olympic athletes from its social media accounts by 5pm on Wednesday.
It comes after double Olympic medallist Callum Skinner tweeted a response to one of the Leave.EU videos, asking them to stop using pictures of him.
The anti-EU campaign group had posted a video of Team GBs medallists to make the point that Britain did not need Europe to be great.
