Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:50:02 +0100 (Reuters) - Meredith Alexander, former member of the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012, speaks to a reporter at the headquarters of Amnesty International in London January 25, 2012. Alexander has resigned in protest over a sponsorship deal with Dow Chemical because of the company's ties to the Bhopal gas disaster that killed thousands in India in 1984. The Games' organisers chose Dow to make the hundreds of plastic panels that will decorate the outside of the main stadium in a contract that has angered many Indians, including current and former Olympic athletes.
