Sadiq Khan launched the inquiry after it emerged that the cost of completing the works had risen by an extra £50 million.
Work to turn the centrepiece of the 2012 Games into a football ground – including the overhaul of the roof and the addition of 21,000 retractable seats – was originally estimated at £154 million. That figure later rose to £272 million, partly due to the complexity of adapting the huge cantilevered roof. Now it has emerged that the revised total cost is nearer to £323 million, with reports that the cost of the new seating had risen from an estimated £300,000 to £8 million.
It is understood West Ham FC contributed just £15 million towards the conversion costs and that the rest of the £752 million cost of building the arena and subsequently making it fit for football has been met by the taxpayer.

West Ham paid a £15mill contribution to converting the Olympic stadium. West Ham pay £2.5mill a year to lease the Olympic Stadium. (City pay £4mill a year, which goes back to the residents of Manchester, on a 250 year lease on the Etihad Stadium)

Isn't it just, no one can argue now that there isn't a clear smear campaign against us. No doubt aided and abetted by our American cousins.
