Very hard to believe. One quote from the article that sums it up for me : "A Greek source close to the Olympic movement told Reuters: How can Mr Alex Gilady know what any member of the IOC wanted to vote. The missing vote for Madrid in the third round could even be a case of one IOC member not voting."

I personally blame the inefficiency of the Greeks

I mean, have you ever had the joy of having a stopover in Athens to change planes? Then you will agree with me. So thank you very much Greece for you error which saw London triumph over Madrid and Paris!!
