Talks regarding the financial assistance to the British Olympic Association is being considered by the UK Sport. It is trying to meet the cost of sending largest British to the 2012 London Olympics. One of the major media companies revealed that BOA is in discussion with National Lottery provider Camelot regarding a short term deal which is worth £2m.
To the elite Olympic atheletes, UK Sport distributed £300m of Lottery money in the last four years. There is strained relationship between the BOA and UK Sport, as their chairmen Colin Moyniha and Sue Campbell have notorious bonding.
One of the spokesperson of UK Sport stated, ” Following the Daily Telegraph article … UK Sport is aware of the financial pressures facing the BOA in this unique home Games environment. We are therefore giving this request for National Lottery funding serious consideration. Athletes preparing for the London Games require the best possible environment when they transfer from their World Class Programme into Team GB for Games time.”
He further added, “This is the responsibility of the BOA and with the Games looming we are conscious of the need to help resolve this issue to maximise the impact the significant investment UK Sport and The National Lottery have already made in our sports and athletes in preparation.”
