Robertson said the current legal use of the stadium after the 2012 Games bid is threatening the conflict.

Tottenham's decision to award West ham stadium court to review the legal battle has begun.

An independent investigation has been started in last weekend newspaper allegations that an executive working for the Olympic Park Legacy Company.

Robertson said, "We can't bid for a World Athletics Championships until the stadium is secure. There is the judicial review and the events of last weekend. As far as the events of last weekend are concerned they [the OPLC] have initiated an independent investigation and actually we are told that nothing that may have happened there has any impact on the stadium decision at all.

"But that will be flushed out by the independent investigation. As far as the stadium is concerned itself I would rather this judicial review was not happening. Clearly the initial hearing went in our favour but now Tottenham have appealed that.

"We will wait to see what happens with that, but until that decision is through the stadium legacy is not secure. The fact is that everyone involved in athletics will understand why we cannot bid for World Championships again until we have an absolute lock-down secure venue."

Coe, in Durban for the International Olympic Committee session, told the Evening Standard: "Journalists have dipped into the Olympic story in an indiscriminate and ad hoc way and have chosen not to understand the complexity of the problem. It's a fairly easy story if you want to write about it superficially.

"I haven't read any coherent observations on how to do things differently. When I put it to the journalists we have sensible conversation about the level of disappointment – but when we talk about how the process could have been done any better they shuffle off."
