TICKETS for the London 2012 Olympics belonging to Russian president Vladimir Putin are available for purchase on eBay.
The tickets, which include access to one of the three available private booths for the womens beach volleyball at Horse Guards Parade, are listed alongside idiosyncratic descriptions believed to be written by the Russian President.
Tickets for Olympic Mens 100m final are described as: ‘**WOW** very rare tickets right on finishing tape to see proud sons of Russia beaten by dope smoking Jamaican who has secret way of producing clean piss Happy bidding x.’
The seller, who calls himself KGB10752, denies any connection to Putin but has a registered address in Russia and has previously sold small quantities of radioactive element polonium, the Rubens painting Venus Disarming Mars looted during the Second World War, and drilling rights to 572,000 square miles of gas-rich land in the Sakhalin Oblast.
KGB10752’s feedback is 99 per cent positive, with comments including ‘ITEM 2WKS LATE, THREATENED TO HAVE ME SHOT’ and ‘AAAAAA+++++++ seller plese dont drown my baby’.
Putin, who told world leaders at last months G8 summit that he was too busy playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to attend, is believed to be irritated with British attitudes to human rights abuses in Russia and the cancellation of his favourite TV show Skins.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will attend the Olympics instead but has been ordered to yawn and text ostentatiously during any event that the Russians are not winning.
Olympic insiders claim that the Russian Presidents refusal to attend the Olympics follows attempts to register as a wild card in the weightlifting, judo and freestyle diving events, in which Putin claimed he would ‘destroy the capitalist Wests feeble competitors with one flex of my dick’.
