The International Olympic Committee (IOC), in an attempt to eliminate irregular betting, is to set up a new system to monitor corrupt betting practices linked to Olympic competitions.
International Sports Monitoring, based in Switzerland, will monitor the 2010 Vancouver winter games and then the London 2012 games.

Cometh The Games, Cometh The Scams
Much like flies around shit, scammers and con artists are attracted to large cash rich events.
The forthcoming London 2012 Olympics will prove to be no exception to that rule.
Event though there are still four years to go until the London Games, police have been already been put on alert for widespread fraud. There are reports circulating of websites offering fake tickets and "boiler rooms" selling shares in companies with fake games contracts.
In response to the threat, City police and Scotland Yard have joined forces and published a document entitled "Policing the Olympic Economy".
Unsurprisingly the police are asking for money, £5M in fact, to help prevent frauds such as procurement corruption, currency counterfeiting and cheque and credit card crime.
The Olympic pot of gold attracts everyone!
