Documentary uncovers Olympic vote 'touts'

International “agents” are promising the votes of some members of the International Olympic Committee for the 2012 Games for between €83,000 and €249,000, according to a BBC documentary to be broadcast tomorrow.

A year-long investigation by Panorama discovered people they called “agents” who were claiming to be able to secure the votes of some of the 124 voting members of the IOC in exchange for large sums of money.
