BRITAIN-US-FINANCE- BANKING-LONDON-OLY-2012
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY ALICE RITCHIE BRITAIN-US-FINANCE- BANKING-LONDON-OLY-2012
(FILES) This file picture taken on May 22, 2008 in east London shows Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown (2nd R) with his wife Sarah Brown (L), Chairman of the 2012 commitee Sebastian Coe (R) and British Athletes Goldie Sayers (C) Chris Thomlinson (2nd L) during his visit of the London 2012 Olympic site. London's Olympic chiefs are having to rework their budgets as the global credit crunch squeezes private funding for the 2012 Games -- although Team GB's success in Beijing has helped boost the coffers. The British government expects about seven billion pounds (12.4 billion dollars, 8.9 billion euros) of private sector money to go into the Olympics and the regeneration of the area around Stratford, east of the British capital. But fears are growing that, as banks worldwide stop lending, developers are struggling to come up with the cash and taxpayers will have to step in. AFP PHOTO/ Shaun Curry/FILES
