The Olympic Cash Machine

For the past six months, Dispatches has been investigating the London 2012 Olympics. Undertaking a forensic examination of who the real winners and losers are likely to be as a result of hosting the Games, reporter Antony Barnett reveals that, for a lucky few, the personal, financial benefits could be huge.

And with ministers finally forced to admit that the cost of the Games has spiralled to more than £9 billion, Dispatches features key interviews and previously unseen documents to reveal, for the first time, the explosive facts about the Olympics the Government never wanted parliament or the public to know.
