(crienglish.com)
Updated: 2005-07-13 14:22 Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe has ruled out his
city's bid for the 2016 Olympic Games.
Delanoe said Tuesday that the
city will not be a candidate in the bid for the Summer Olympics, but will be
glad to support a South American or African bid.
He also repeated the claim that London failed to play by the International
Olympic Committee's bidding rules.
IOC President Jacques Rogge said Saturday that London had done nothing wrong,
and that none of the five bidding cities had broken the rules.
The Olympics have never been held in Africa or South America.
