Tottenham Hotspur are taking Olympic chiefs to court over the decision to hand the 2012 stadium to fellow Premier League club West Ham United after the Games, the BBC reported on Wednesday.

The Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC), which approved West Ham's bid ahead of Spurs last month, confirmed Tottenham are going ahead with a judicial review, the BBC said.

Tottenham informed the OPLC of their challenge this week, as construction on the Olympic Stadium was completed.

A judge will now review the lawfulness of the decision.
