London has narrowly avoided being flooded with fake Olympic-branded condoms.
The counterfeit rubbers were seized byWestminster City Council Trading Standards  teams, which have so far confiscated over £10,000 of fake goods since the start of the Games.
The prophylactics, which appear to be branded with a poor approximation of the London 2012 logo, were apparently due to go on sale in the capital's Soho district and were presumably to be marketed to lovers who like to cheer while they’re winning.
Sue Jones, Head of Westminster Trading Standards ominously warns: “Buying bogus Olympic goods is a false economy – they don’t look right, they break easily and tourists will go away from London with a poor experience of the Games.
