Joe Hennigan, the supervisor of the Irish boxing group at the Rio Olympics, affirmed that mentors were cautioned to "be watchful" in front of Conlan's dubious thrashing.
Conlan was drastically vexed in his bantamweight quarter-last by Russian Vladimir Nikitin, regardless of post-battle measurements plainly demonstrating that the Belfast boxer arrived significantly more punches.
The Olympic bronze medallist in this way set out on a foulness filled broadcast tirade, where he charged the AIBA, the game's administering body, of debasement.
A stunning report, gathered by Mr Hennigan, claims that Irish mentor Zaur Antia had been educated before Conlan's battle that something untoward could happen.
"I wouldn't go as far to state it was settled yet we had heard that we would need to 'be watchful', this sort of jazz," Hennigan told Independent.ie. "By implication, I was conversing with other individuals.
"That came through Zaur. It was just in leaving this came behind, everyone was conversing with everyone."
Hennigan additionally affirmed that he broadcast worries around Katie Taylor and Joe Ward's thrashings in his report, and also that of the Belfast boxer.
"The three individuals that I specified in the report were Katie Taylor, Michael Conlan and Joe Ward," Hennigan said.
"To me it was an entire joke that Conlan lost that battle when he certainly won it by four or five miles."
Hennigan said that opposition manages left the Irish group with little plan of action by which to stop a dissent.
"The idiocy of this is you can't whine against a judge," he said.
"You can just gripe against an arbitrator, so you are squandering your opportunity whining." Previous Irish Olympian Kenny Egan discussed his "appall" at the clear debasement in beginner boxing. Addressing Independent.ie, the silver medallist said he was happy Conlan's questionable misfortune was publicized before a huge number of individuals.
"When he lost his battle in Rio, the entire world could see that the scoring was wrong," he said.
"It's lamentable stuff. I addressed Michael after the battle and he said that his father instructed him to thump Vladimir Nikitin out.
"It just occurred to him after the battle was over that his dad more likely than not realized what was happening."
Egan trusts that without the Olympic battles being settled, Ireland could have brought home an additional three or four awards.
"It's so irritating for the universe of beginner boxing," he said.
"Our boxers put their entire lives into getting to the Olympic Diversions and when they arrive their destiny is as of now chose by a gathering of degenerate judges.
"Without the greater part of this going on we would have brought three or four awards again from Rio."
Amid Egan's Olympic accomplishment in 2008, he doesn't trust he was conned out of a gold award.
"When I was contending in Beijing, the battles were scored uniquely in contrast to they are currently and for me I thought it was truly reasonable," he said.
"In any case, everything that is going on now just demonstrates how the AIBA need to pull up their socks. Enclosing has been the Olympic Amusements for over 100 years and on the off chance that they don't start acting responsibly, the game may not be permitted to be held in 2020."
Two-time Dublin Olympian Philip Sutcliffe told Independent.ie there has been a long history of debasement in beginner boxing.
"There has dependably been nations, particularly Russia, that would get approval snappier than littler nations like Ireland – that has been continuing for quite a while," he said.
"On the off chance that AIBA don't take control of their judges then there's continually going to be the human factor of gift and defilement.
"Despite the fact that this has all turned out beyond any confining influence, I'm exceptionally vexed that Michael Conlan was burglarized of his Olympic dream and that Katie Taylor couldn't demonstrate that she could bring home two gold decorations. Them two, and Paddy Barnes, were off guard ideal from the begin."
At the point when Sutcliffe contended at the 1980 and 1984 Olympic Recreations, he likewise did not trust he was bamboozled out of a decoration.
"My battles were close and I was beaten by great rivals. The first run through around I had a bone softened up my correct hand, so I wouldn't contend that the battle was out of line. In any case, even in those days it was realized that defilement existed inside the game," he said.
Amid the Rio Diversions, the AIBA suspended various arbitrators and judges because of "choices that were not at the normal level".
The next November, every one of the 36 judges who directed in Rio were suspended while AIBA done an examination. A month ago, Worldwide Olympic Board (IOC) president Thomas Bach said boxing's place at the 2020 Olympic Recreations could be in peril.

"We are to a great degree stressed over the administration in AIBA."
The IOC official board was "not fulfilled" with a report arranged by AIBA on its administration, accounts, refereeing and hostile to doping issues.
Thus, an examination has been opened, driven by the IOC boss morals and consistence officer.
All agreements with AIBA have been solidified, alongside every single monetary installment to AIBA, which is required to create a further report before the finish of April.
CONCERNS
Bach was asked whether the IOC had any worries over the judging at the 2016 Rio Olympic Recreations and let it be known did.
"From the way that refereeing is a piece of the choice we as of now took in December a year ago and we were asking for more data, you can close despite everything we're investigating this issue," he included.
