A drunk fan of Olympic competitors from Belgium has been identified as the country's sports minister.

A loud Belgian fan had been shouting out during a doubles match between Argentinian and Belgian players. Eventually Argentine tennis ace David Nalbandian lost his temper and told him to be quiet.

But other Belgian supporters recognised the "very drunk" man as sports minister Michel Daerden, media in the country have reported.  Daerden was also spotted drunk when cheering on the Belgian hockey team from the stands, say reports.

One Belgian fan, Marc Demeyer, said: "He was drunk as a skunk. It's an embarrassment for the nation."

What can I say other than you voted for him!

Everyone wondered why Kate Hoey resigned after the Sydney Olympics
