Olympic sponsorship tensions reignite - Olympics - Sport - The Independent A former London 2012 ethics commissioner who resigned in protest after a decision to accept sponsorship from the chemical multinational Dow, which now owns the company responsible for the Bhopal disaster in India, reignited the row this weekend, accusing a senior Olympic official of misrepresenting her. Meredith Alexander, a former member of the Commission for a Sustainable London, an independent body that monitors the work of the London 2012 Organising Committee (Locog), claimed the senior executive had told media she agreed with the deal. Paul Deighton [chief executive of Locog] said: 'Of course she is one of 12 commissioners and the commission signed off on the process.' That is not true, I resigned because I did not and would never have signed that deal off. In Davos, Boris [Johnson] told the press how he hoped I would reconsider. In London his office point blank refused to talk to me. I had planned to resign and simply walk away from all of this, but I now feel there is more I need to do. I would like to issue a public challenge to Locog, the Mayor and most importantly the company to meet myself and representatives of the victims. A Locog spokesman said: "Meredith has misrepresented Paul's remarks. It is clear that Paul's comments related to the procurement process which the commission validated. A spokesman for the Mayor of London said: "The Mayor is surprised and disappointed by Meredith Alexander's decision to stand down from the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012."
