Speaking to reporters Coe said: "We made a commitment to the IOC to retain an athletics stadium after the Games and nothing that has happened changes that at all. Our design is for an 80,000-seat stadium during Games time and a 25,000-seater in legacy. That is what we have agreed and we are working on a range of options as to who will use the stadium after the Games."
The news comes after a report in the London Evening Standard that said there was a possibility that the £500 million stadium could be flattened after the Games with a Premier League club building a purpose-built soccer stadium on the site.
West Ham United are the closest Premier League club to the east London Olympic Park but have ruled out a move to the stadium because it will retain an athletics track - a feature that is unpopular with English football clubs.
