The contest to take over the Olympic Stadium has broken out into a war of words.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has condemned remarks made by West Ham's Karren Brady.
Brady has claimed Spurs' plans to tear down the stadium after the Olympics ends does not make sense.
She said: "It's a corporate crime to spend £500million on a stadium and, just four weeks after the Games have finished, bring the bulldozers in."
But Levy has branded her comments as "scaremongering and highly irresponsible."
He said: " We are proposing one of the most advanced, state-of-the-art stadiums in Europe that will deliver an exceptional spectator experience.
"Accusations that we would 'demolish' £500million of stadium are hugely inaccurate and highly irresponsible and I want to be very clear on this issue.
"Our proposal will retain around £420million worth of the Olympic Stadium, and we will re-use or recycle the £80million that will be dismantled with zero landfill.
The differences between the bids centres on the running track - Tottenham would not retain it, but West Ham would.
If successful, Tottenham, joint bidders with sports and entertainment company AEG, intend to refurbish the old athletics centre at Crystal Palace as a 25,000 capacity venue for that sport.
