LONDON - West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur will have to wait longer to learn which of their bids to move to the Olympic Stadium has succeeded after it was announced on Monday the decision had been postponed.

The Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC), expected to recommend one of the Premier League clubs on Friday, said it "needed more time" to decide on what has become the most controversial question surrounding the 2012 Games.

"Given the detailed nature of both bids received, we need more time to seek further clarification with both bidders in order to identify a preferred bidder," a statement from the OPLC, the body responsible for planning the post-Games use of various venues, said.
