Reedie: London won games hands down

International Olympic Committee member Craig Reedie has dismissed suggestions that London’s successful bid to stage the 2012 Games was the result of an IOC delegate miscasting his vote are “totally irrelevant”.

IOC member Alex Gilady claims Greek delegate Lambis Nikolaou made a mistake by voting for Paris in the third round. The Israeli argues that had his vote gone to Madrid as he claims Nikolaou intended, the Spanish and French capitals would have been level on 32 votes each.
