The information in today’s Evening Standard about the International Olympic Committee visit with the London 2012 Organising Committee later this week is misleading.
The IOC has not demanded a full breakdown of costs and there is no media blackout imposed by London 2012 officials as claimed in the article.
The meeting with the IOC is a regular project review, a number of which are held every year with each host city. The IOC will receive an update on many aspects of Games planning including workforce, venue plans, sport, marketing, finance, transport, environment and media operations etc. This is routine in the planning cycle for an Olympic Games Organising Committee and has been set up for a number of months.
As with all our communications, we will continue to respond to media enquiries in the usual way.
