Olympics chief refutes Lemley claims

The bitter row over the state of London's preparations for the 2012 Olympics deepened today.
Sir Roy McNulty, acting chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority, hit back at claims from his predecessor, Jack Lemley, that the project has been stymied by long-known land contamination problems and political meddling.

He stated that the ODA board, responsible for delivering Olympic infrastructure and venues, �does not accept the version of events that Jack Lemley has set out to the media in recent days�.

Sir Roy said he was confident the ODA would soon have a �robust and realistic budget� after talks with the Treasury and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport end in the New Year.
