London, June 21 (ANI): A senior Ukrainian Olympic official offering the tickets of London 2012 Olympics in exchange for cash has been expelled by his country's National Olympic Committee.
Volodymyr Gerashchenko, General Secretary of the Ukrainian NOC, claimed that he would have as many as 100 tickets to sell.
According to the BBC, a statement on the NOC website said Gerashchenko would be excluded from the organisation for "violation of membership obligations".
A commission established by the NOC found he had "grossly violated the basic principles of Olympism", following which Gerashchenko resigned last month. (ANI)
