Olympics Committee welcomes investigation into corruption claims

The International Olympics Committee has urged the BBC to hand over any further evidence it may have regarding allegations that large amounts of money were paid out in an attempt to ensure boxers from Azerbaijan received gold medals at the 2012 Olympics.

The International Amateur Boxing Association has launched an investigation after the claims were made on last night’s 'Newsnight' programme, which found payments of millions of dollars from an Azeri national to the AIBA’s World Series of Boxing competition.
