<snip>
Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers are set to lose exclusive access to British athletes ahead of the 2012 London Olympics after the phone hacking scandal that led to the closure of the News of the World.

Team 2012, an initiative supporting British Olympians, had signed up News International as its official partner to help raise funds for athletes.

But the British branch of Murdoch's News Corp. ( NWS - news - people ) media empire can no longer meet its Team 2012 contractual obligations after the 168-year-old Sunday tabloid News of the World was closed in an attempt to defuse the uproar over illegal journalism practices.

With Team 2012 now looking for new media partnerships, News International's remaining publications - The Sun, The Times and The Sunday Times - are unlikely to be able to retain the "Official Newspaper of Team 2012" slogan.
