The British Olympic Association and LOCOG are taking the protection of sponsors very seriously. The latest development reported by the Telegraph is that the Team Members’ Agreement will prevent Team GB members from:
BOA/LOCOG are also to be given permission to make use of the ‘Athletes Attributes’ (including name, image, and performance at the games) for free.
Many elements of the agreement apply indefinitely. Though a consultation process has taken place, some athletes are apparently not so impressed.

Although the ensuing controversy in that matter forced the BOA into an embarrassing climb-down, the new agreement shows they will not shy away from protecting the commercial interests of the official sponsors for this year’s games.
The new regime introduced by the Act will take shape over the next 18 months, but those who design, build or manage high rise buildings are being urged to get ready for the changes to be introduced through the act.
