London 2012 chairman Sebastian Coe has effectively ruled out the prospect of West Ham moving into a new Olympic Stadium by placing a prohibitive £100million price tag on the project.Coe said none of the prospective tenants, led by the Hammers who have expressed the keenest interest, are "remotely in the same ball park" when it comes to financing such a move. And Coe insisted he would stick by his pledge to the International Olympic Committee that athletics rather than football would take precedence on the site at all times.Coe told BBC Radio Five Live´s Sportsweek: "If football wants to play within the confines of a track and field configuration, are prepared to give track and field primary usage, and are coming to the table with £100m-plus to make this a viable option of course we would look at it. But at the current moment none of the clubs taking a look at this are remotely in the same ball park."
