London didn't respect rules, says Paris mayor Paris mayor Betrand Delanoe on Monday accused London of unfair play in winning the 2012 Olympic bid. Delanoe, also president of the Paris bid, said London had not respected the rule of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stating that meetings between bid officials and IOC members should be only informal. "The IOC knows that (British Prime Minister) Tony Blair had written to IOC members to offer to meet them," Delanoe told reporters. Delanoe said that Blair had then met IOC members in his hotel suite in Singapore before Wednesday's vote, in which London scored a narrow 54-50 victory over Paris. "Everybody was aware of it and could see it," Delanoe said. "That's against the rules. I saw people coming out of Blair's
suite."
