Toilet facilities are being built at London's Olympic Park so Muslims will not have to face Mecca while sitting on the loo.
The Olympic Delivery Authority has said it wants to produce an ideal venue for people of all cultures, faiths, ages and abilities for the 2012 Games and beyond.
The Islamic religion prohibits Muslims from facing the Kiblah - the direction of prayer - when they visit the lavatory.An ODA spokeswoman confirmed that a 'percentage of general toilets would not face Mecca' out of sensitivity.
