London's Olympic Stadium will be primarily used for athletics events under "non-negotiable" plans for the venue following the 2012 Games set out by Sebastian Coe.

The new owners of West Ham United Football Club (WHUFC), David Gold and David Sullivan, recently signalled plans to investigate the possibility of relocating the Premier League club to the Stratford stadium. According to the BBC, however, Coe - the chair of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) - has moved to reassure the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) that athletics was at the heart of legacy proposals for the Olympic Stadium.

Speaking in Vancouver, Coe told International Olympic Committee (IOC) delegates that the newly-formed Olympic Park Legacy Company would be looking at future options for the venues. The BBC quoted Coe as saying: "It's non-negotiable that this is a track and field facility and the president of the International Assocation of Athletics Federations knows that."
