The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is in talks with a Swiss sports arena manufacturer to import a 'flatpack' basketball venue for the London 2012 Olympics.
The Evening Standard reported that the ODA hoped it could reduce costs on the £60m arena by importing a £12m basic steel structure.
After the Games it would be dismantled and sold, with the land made available to developers.
