London, Aug 5 (ANI): Hookers are ho'ing for gold in brothels just a javelin throw away from the Olympic Park, it has been revealed.

An investigation uncovered four seedy haunts selling sex metres from the Games base in Stratford, east London, the Daily Star reported.

Despite a crackdown on prostitutes before the event, women for hire were found in grotty sex dens.

Two of the dives are clearly advertised from the street on a parade of shops used every day by thousands of Olympics tourists.

The brothels are a million miles from the family-friendly image of Stratford trumpeted by Games organisers.

A short distance from the Olympic Park is a shop emblazoned with the words Libby's Sauna in front.

Stunning eastern European woman behind reinforced glass welcome customers in, who ask 130-pounds an hour for full body massage.

They boast of ten women waiting inside from around the world and they have been busier than ever because of the Games.

Nearby is a similar business, Elite Sauna and Health Spa, where a south-east Asian woman through a hole in the wall, reels off a price list for services that starts at 30 pounds for half an hour of full sex and went up to 100 pounds for an hour with all services.

A scan of a local free newspaper uncovered two more brothels advertising for business near the Olympic Park.

The brothels fly in the face of London Mayor Boris Johnson's claim on his website that declares: We are determined to crack down on prostitution and human trafficking in the run up to the London 2012 Games.

Police closed 80 brothels in the 18 months before the Olympics in Newham, east London, the borough which is home to the stadium. (ANI)
