Apparently there was a late offer of 37 million from a Qatari bank....It is understood the figure mentioned involved a $30 million (£19 million/€24 million) pledge from a Qatari bank to become a new Official IAAF Partner in a five-year sponsorship deal, with the additional $7 million (£4.5 million/€5.5 million) being offered to providing tracks in the 21 federations currently lacking them.
The IAAF responded to a statement made by Jose Maria Odriozola, President of the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation and member of the IAAF's own ruling Council, that Doha had swayed the vote......... IAAF communications director Nick Davies told insidethegames: "Nothing about this bid infringed the IAAF procedure for the bidding cities."
Odriziola said the offer had come as a surprise to himself and other voting members of the IAAF Council.
"I am very disappointed and very angry," he said.
"I will not go there.
"I think it's a bad move for the world athletics."
IAAF = scoundrels
