India bribed 72 nations to get Delhi CWG: Report
PTI, Sep 24, 2010, 12.27am IST
MELBOURNE: India bribed 72 Commonwealth countries $100,000 each to get the hosting rights for the scandal-hit 19th edition of the Games which will start in Delhi from October 3-14, a media report claimed.
A report in the Daily Telegraph claimed that Delhi pipped Hamilton in the bid after offering huge sums of money to the 72 Commonwealth countries during the final presentation in Jamaica.
The report also said that Australia received a kickback of $125,000 from India.
“Delhi sealed the right to host the Games when their delegates emerged at the final presentation in Jamaica and offered all 72 nations $100,000 (then about $140,000) each for athlete training schemes if they were the successful bidders,” the newspaper reported.
"The money, subsequently paid to all nations, was not significant to Australia because it had already decided to vote for India and the payment was not an exceptionally large one.
“But for small nations who have minimal interest in the Games, it clinched their vote and India went on to beat Canadian city Hamilton 46-22 in the final poll. Hamilton had offered the nations about $70,000 each,” it said.

as it says it was not significant to Aus there are poor countries in the world (yeah poorer than Pakistan and India) who accept the aid of 50k$ too and for them its should be a big deal.

com on man, one has to pay bribes in millions to get just construction contracts if there is a way and this report suggests that the countries (not companies or contractors) accepted just 100,000 including Australia(125,000).
