Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovich addresses the media at the Olympic stadium in Kiev

Volodymyr Geraschenko general secretary of the Ukrainian National Olympic Committee told an undercover UK news reporter thatr he had as many as 100 Olympic Games tickets to sell.

His National Olympic Committee found that he had grossly violated the basic principles of Olympism.

Mr. Geraschenko resigned last month after the report was broadcast on TV.

The reporter acting on a tip-off posed as an undercover ticket dealer from the UK. Gerashchenko took the bait. He had been head of Ukraine's Olympic since 1997.

In England the punishment for Olympic games ticket touts is £20,000.
