LONDON (AP) — The High Court in London has given Premier League club Tottenham the right to seek a judicial review of the decision to award the Olympic Stadium to West Ham after the 2012 Games.

The Olympic Park Legacy Company selected West Ham over Spurs as the preferred tenant of the $800-million venue in east London.

Tottenham is challenging the decision by West Ham’s local authority to provide a $65-million loan to fund the move.
