Australian team officials are yet to decide whether to take action against rower Josh Booth, who was allegedly involved in an alcohol-fuelled rampage after missing out on an Olympic medal.

The 21-year-old Melbourne student made his Olympic debut in the men's eight at the Olympic regatta being staged at Eton Dorney, outside London.

The crew finished last in the final and about 12 hours later Booth was out on the town, allegedly drunk and disorderly.

Australian officials say Booth apparently took out his disappointment on three shopfronts in the village of Egham, in Surrey, in the early hours of the morning.

Booth allegedly climbed up onto a second floor veranda and kicked in a glass door. A nearby window is also said to have been shattered.

He then fainted after being taken to a police station, hit his head, and was taken to hospital.

Booth has been cleared of any serious injury but will have to report to police again later today.

Australian chef de mission Nick Green confirmed alcohol was a factor in the "unfortunate" incident.

"The police will either investigate the matter or make some outcomes for the investigation," Green said.

"I don't know further details so I can't make further comment on that.

"It is an ongoing investigation and I will allow the investigation to complete before we make any further comments."

Fellow rower Todd Skipworth has offered words of support to Booth.

"I think the team will rally around him, he's got plenty more years left in him as well," he said.

Muhmet Gurpinar owns the Egham Charcoal Grill where Booth, along with a male and female friend, ordered kebabs around 1:00am on Thursday mornng (local time).

The shop owner, who recognised Booth as an Olympian because he was wearing his green and gold uniform, says he was shocked by Booth's attitude.

"He wasn’t angry to me. I was trying to ask him something, he didn’t answer me," he said.

"He was just giving dirty look and when he walk out, he turn back, give me another dirty look and go, and so, that’s it."

British cycling hero Bradley Wiggins was also out on the tiles on Wednesday night after his win in the Olympic time trial, tweeting photos of himself "blind drunk" outside St Paul's.

The International Olympic Committee is advising athletes to be responsible during post-competition celebrations.

"I think someone said this morning that Bradley probably deserved a good celebration and I think that is probably the case," spokesman Mark Adams said.

"But yes, of course, we’d ask all athletes after their competition, clearly before their competition they shouldn’t be drinking at all, but after their competition to clearly drink wisely I think would be my parental advice."

The Australian Olympic Committee is considering disciplinary action over the Booth incident.

It is unclear whether the Australian team has offered to pay for the damage caused.
